The meaning of this song is pretty obious, its about the end of the world according to the christian bible.

I totally agree. But I get a kinda nightmare-ish feeling to the song. I like to picture that its from a very bad dream.

It's not about the end of the world. It's about the end of a village, being raided by God-preaching knights who are deceived by Satan. The song is told from the perspective of villagers running for their lives. Such things were common place, and still are in many places of the world. Just look up the Massacre of Soissons or Jerusalem in 1099.

@paalmartin But I also agree.
