Revelations Lyrics

Cover art for Revelations lyrics by DragonForce

Most of the time when someone ascribes religious meaning to a Dragonforce song, I sort of cringe. But this song does seem to be about the book of revelation.

"Blazing up through the heavens like eagles we fly And the horsemen shall come they will judge all your lives Revelations will now be unveiled"

It's a clear reference to the four horsemen of the apocalypse and the final judgement in that book.

"The second age is coming It's the dawn of a new day

Judgement stands before us The second king will rise"

In Revelation the second age comes after a final climactic battle with heaven and hell (how else would you end it? Even if you're not religious Revelation is a good read as fiction). So the song is about God's angels fighting the forces of hell. Pretty standard fantasy battle song other than coming from the bible.
