The Seventh Seal

This song is about the movies Seventh Seal and Virgin Spring by Bergman.

I think the chorus (Lord don't let me ... yet) is about the knights attempt to avoid death until he finishes his joyrney.

Line "Nothing sacred ..." is probably about the Virgin Spring. Protagonists daughter was this pure and innocent thing that they defiled. So nothings sacred and he seeks redemption from the spring.

At the end of song he seems to have found what he was looking for (I think I found..). But the rest of the lyrics are not too clear for me (wishing well, trinity, miracle). Any suggestions?

“When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.” (Revelation 8:1)

The seventh seal introduces the next series of judgments, the seven trumpets. Before that happens, the earth holds its breath in silence. Either there are no cries, or it is quiet in anticipation. Either way, the silence of the half-hour, as Scripture describes, will be deafening. What will God do next? Scripture tells how an angel, possibly Jesus, fills an incense burner with the saints' prayers and hurls it to the earth. The resulting thunder, lightning, and earthquakes precede the first trumpet.

The seven seals precede the next devastating judgment of the seven trumpets and the seven plagues. But, take heart, as God's people, we are promised deliverance from these afflictions. Paul writes in 2 Thessalonians 1:5-7, that God's judgment is right, God's people are worthy of heaven, and He will give relief. For those who deny God, judgment will fall hard. For those who trust in Jesus, relief is your promise.

Sammy is singing about the end times and how you need to open your eyes to God and profess your faith in him. This is the way to salvation.

Salvation is reached by free will of faith asking God into your life and professing your faith in him. Once you have done that he would like you to lead a Christ like life. But in the End as long as you accept Christ he will stand with you before the 7th seal on judgment day and you will be welcomed into heaven.

As to your rewards they will be based on how you lived your life. But no matter what no more pain or sorrow.

Those who never accept free will of God will be cast into hell and the lake of fire.

God wants us as humans to make our choice and once we do he will welcome us to heaven when our time comes. This is between you and God. Just ask him into your heart and life and let him know you believe. It is all about faith in God. It is all he asks.

i've always wondered what this song was about, from your explaination I understand most of it. Either way, it's a nice song.

It's about baptism. Plain and simple.
