Strong Man
Unveiling the Dark Descent: Strong Man's Confrontation with Divine Retribution
Lyrics
The strong man he will kneel down
The strong man is humbled, kneeling down.
Whilst angels strip him of cloak and crown
Angels are stripping him of his authority and symbols of power.
Through bitter lips come vile breath
Despite his bitter words, his breath reveals his inner corruption.
He is the last one to confess
He is the last to admit his wrongdoing or sins.
There will be no pity for him
No compassion will be shown towards him.
We must kill him where he stands
Advocating for immediate action, suggesting a need to eliminate him on the spot.
No there will be no mercy for him
No forgiveness or leniency will be granted to him.
Nor for any of his clan
Extended to his associates or family, all are held accountable.
Let there be no hesitation
An urging to act decisively without hesitation.
Get a rope an make it quick
Get a rope quickly, implying a need for a swift and harsh punishment.
Each last breath come from his mouth
His final breaths will be forcibly extracted with violence.
I will beat it out with a stick
Expressing a brutal determination to extract a confession.
Pray boy you've no reservations
Advising someone to pray without reservations, emphasizing the severity of the situation.
The word will be carried out
The decision or judgment will be executed without compromise.
He is the one who brought down the son
Attributing the downfall of the son (perhaps a symbolic figure) to the strong man.
Let there be no doubt
Emphasizing the certainty and lack of ambiguity regarding his guilt.
There is power wonder workin' power
Highlighting the transformative and miraculous power in the blood of the lamb (biblical symbolism).
In the blood of the lamb
Reiterating the miraculous power found in the blood of the lamb.
There is power wonder workin' power
Stressing the redemptive and transformative qualities of the lamb's blood.
In the precious blood of the lamb
Continuing the emphasis on the redemptive power of the lamb's blood.
He's seated on the right hand
The strong man is positioned on the right hand, possibly indicating a position of authority or judgment.
