The Prophecy – Uncovering the Esoteric Message in Heavy Metal Lore
In the vast lexicon of Heavy Metal, few bands have managed to etch their names into the bedrock of the genre quite like Iron Maiden. Among their extensive catalogue of narratives and cautionary tales, ‘The Prophecy’ from their seminal 1988 album, ‘Seventh Son of a Seventh Son,’ weaves a story that transcends mere fantasy. Like an ancient seer’s scroll unfurling before us, the song delivers portentous lyrics rife with prophecy and doom.
