The song “The Seventh Seal” is a deeply reflective piece, drawing inspiration from Ingmar Bergman’s iconic film The Seventh Seal, and its themes of existential struggle, mortality, and the search for meaning in life. The lyrics explore these concepts from two distinct perspectives, represented by the knight and Jof, the acrobat, two key characters in Bergman’s film.

Lyrics:
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as if they're here to stay
Ooh I believe in yesterday

I woke on beach confronted by morality
With no formalities the waves crash down on me
The wind spoke with a chill so casually
My bones still from the sight of duality
I pray that the answers shower down on me
Revelations of this game unfold so naturally
Sometimes faith is a burden actually
Especially when you know God ain't answering
When met with death we play chess hope for the best
But you could never win just swim in the sea again
No frame on my spirit the vision 10 plus 10
Don't need a man to tell me when and how I sinned
Tryna set my soul free like a bird mon
But I'm trapped in these squares and it hurtin
I can see the end rolling with the curtain
As the preacher delivers all his sermons

Throwing dice in this life I hope find the light
With every breath Ima fight till I get right
In a world that been curled in its own plight
In a world that been curled in its own plight
Throwing dice in this life I hope find the light
With every breath Ima fight till I get right
In a world that been curled in its own plight
In a world that been curled in its own plight

With my pen and pad my spirit ever-last
Weather every storm spitting till my last breath
Between life and death the place where my art rest
Got the world in my hands and I'm so blessed
Death around corner but I ain't even stressed
Mind body soul the trinity that I possess

Throwing dice in this life pray I'm living right
Every breath I attest to my inner light
Till my last Ima laugh so childlike
Till my last Ima laugh so childlike
Throwing dice in this life pray I'm living right
Every breath I attest to my inner light
Till my last Ima laugh so childlike
Till my last Ima laugh so childlike

The 7th Seal

- Pero esta es la peor hora... ¿Sabes cómo la llaman?
- No.
- La llaman "la hora del lobo". Es la hora en la que muere más gente, y nacen más niños. Si dormimos, tendremos pesadillas. Si estamos despiertos...
- Tendremos miedo.
- Tendremos miedo.

La Hora del Lobo (Ingmar Bergman, 1968)
