Beast And The Harlot lyrics

yeah this is just a religous song, but also, its a song looked down upon because of Guitar Hero. this is a great song but to be cool, people say "oh you only like this song because of Guitar Hero" but really, its a great song. i listen to it every time i need to "rock out" ;)

ummm no it's actually talking about Babylon literally lol. i mean it likely has some other parallel other meanings as well, just as most Avenged Sevenfold songs do. But it's definitely talking about Babylon, as in Babylon...read the Bible...this song just tells a story from Revelations. It pretty much reads it word for word in several places.

This song is talking about about babylon. but not babylon literally. The "babylon" here is an allusion to hell. I'm sure enough, hell is the dwelling place for demons, and a cage for unclean spirits, since u cannot escape it.

This has something to do in revelations.

But here, the singer wants to rule in hell than to serve in heaven. it showed in the lines:

"now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us"

I'm really freaked by this song. It shows a very evil side of a7x

This song is clearly about Revelations and the beast and the harlot mentioned in the bible...i'll even give you the verse so you can verify it faster...Revelations 17:3-5...

I gotta hand it to a7xddict...he basically summed it up right.

anyways, the song really confused me the first several times i looked over the lyrics and listened to the song...but then I read part of Revelations, and the song just basically tells the story of Revelations Chapters 17-19..
I mean it'd be confusing as all hell if you didn't read that part of the Bible before reading these lyrics...but if you take the time to read those three chapters, it pretty much just tells that exactly, except in song form...which makes it a million times less confusing.
So to anyone having trouble understanding the meaning...crack open a Bible...read Revelations 17-19...and then look over the lyrics again.

this is basically just like Avenged Sevenfold's song Chapter Four (which in my opinion is their best song ever)...anyways that song basically just tells the story of Cain and Abel, which is in Chapter Four of Genesis, hence the title of the song.

anyways, it parallels this song cuz this song does the same exact thing, just with Revelations 17-19 instead of Genesis 4. Same overall concept though. I love how A7X puts biblical references into their music...it's amazing how they do it.
