| | John The Revelator Lyrics Artist(Band):Depeche Mode
Put him in an elevator Take him up to the highest high Take him up to the top where the mountains stop Let him tell his book of lies John the Revelator He's a smooth operator It's time we cut him down to size Take him by the hand And put him on the stand Let us hear his alibis By claiming God - As his holy right He's stealing a God from the Israelites Stealing a God from a Muslim, too There is only one God through and through Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again Seven angels with seven trumpets Send them home on the morning train Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator! All he ever gives us is pain Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator! He should bow his head in shame By and by By and by By and by By and by Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again Seven angels with seven trumpets Send them home on the morning train Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator! All he ever gives us is pain Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator! He should bow his head in shame By and by By and by John the Revelator By and by John the Revelator By and by John the Revelator If you find some error in John The Revelator Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about John The Revelator the law of yhwh | Reviewer: the few | 6/11/09 the key clue in the song is tht israel and muslim are holier than christian. hence, for those who bother to REALLY read the scriptures right down to hebrew translation (the originator) knows tht DM is saying christians dont even know god's character compared to the other 2 religion bcos they dont live the law EXPLICITLY commanded by god of israel.(cunningly misinterpreted frm hebrew to english bibles). Christians are lazy followers further lulled by sunday 1 hour club mentality. Thts why the "grace" message is so sweet to them. "If u sin its ok jesus wash yr sins away" bullshit. The best Interpritation. | Reviewer: AS | 4/29/09 This song is not about the bible the actual john or chrisitanity. In fact Islam started approx 700 years after Christianity so the reference to stealing a good from the muslim too would not apply to the real John. This song is about all false profits that use the revelations, end of times, religon, and god to rule and push their evil agendas. John the Revelator is any cult leader, any religous leader or any political leader that uses god to rule, abuse, kill and bring pain to humanity. Reality | Reviewer: I am That I am Love | 4/6/09 From what I can deduce Hes talking about how the book of revelations is BS! To live with Love is the only requirement to be holy in gods eyes! why wait for death to come and bring you to heaven? Why not take action with Jesus "Love", and bring heaven to yourself and those which you love!? As far as I interpret the bible jesus is love... well if jesus is love, then his second coming will be that of a united people... United not under some antichrist fear monger "anti-love", but united by Love itself! "Go in Peace, serve your love!... "truth" Gore is headed for hell | Reviewer: steve | 1/3/09 Oh well. It's obvious Gore is not in the Christian "club", but instead is on the path to hell. I don't want to go into any other discussion other than to say he is not a Christian, and is actually attacking born again Christian evangelical views in this song. The Bible calls him and antichrist, which I agree with. Take that and stick it in your pipe and smoke it! revelations | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/2/08 People have used religion in positions of power to sway the vote of the ignorant, and use their supposed faith as a scapegoat to perpetuate some of the most distasteful and inhumane tragedies ever known to man. It is happening right now all over the world, with Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, which we all know are some of the most populous religions. Most of the radical Christians who are in support for a lot of the injustice going on are so blinded and usually use the old testament or Revelations in order to support the argument. Seldom do I hear anyone quote the Eight Beatitudes, and one in particular: "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." trying to express yself | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/16/08 stealing a god from the israelites stealing a god from the muslims too means his not respecting the god of the muslims and of the jews.so the god of them has no worth anway that means stealing a god.hes destroying the way of living so the religion.so their god.easily he stole the god because he showed em the war I dont get it | Reviewer: Juan | 8/23/08 First let me start of by stating the obvious. This is a awesome song by an awesome group. I am also a spiritual person, as I think Martin Gore is (just listen to the stuff written during the Ultra/Exciter periods as well as Songs of Faith and Devotion.) Having a belief in a Creator doesn't mean I have to listen to bland, regurgitated "christian" pop crap. The song isn't meant to insult God or his believers, but rather those that use peoples spiritual inclinations for their own advantage. If Martin Gore believes that the author of Revelations was full of it, that's his opinion, just like the song Blasphemous Rumours was his opinion/artistic expression. I love that DM can take christian themes and give them a new twist (Breath,Personal Jesus,the Love Thieves etc.,) or modern take on them. I believe that their music speaks more about the human condition rather than anything too specific. Spirituality and the conflicts that arise because of it. The battle between mind and flesh. The treachery of the heart. Love and Hate. I'm just happy that there are even artists/musicians who are keen about these things and are willing to write about them. Especially when they are as good as this band. So much stuff out there today is just pure, mindless drivel, THAT'S what people should really be offended by. here's an answer | Reviewer: martin coetzee | 6/21/08 i read one comment below stating that this song is slightly blasphemous. the song isn't a denounciation of religion. its broad based. perhaps targeting individuals with holier than thou attitudes. and perhaps criticising (an obviously christian) john for claiming god as his. a lot of war is fueled by religion (although we don't always like to admit it, everything is divided by race or religion) this song might be encouragement to break down that system. to say "JOHN IS BUSH" is ignorant. this song isn't a political outburst, its an observation. i'm more frank than gore. why can't popular musicians make music that might be blasphemous to you if it isn't blasphemous to them? at every turn you condemn muslims, gays, jews and pro-choice people. if i were a gay muslim with an aborted foetus i wouldn't give a flying fuck if i offended you because all those things are endemic and RIGHT to me. "freedom of speech and expression is awesome, as long as it doesn't criticize my extravagant christian lifestyle." the same can be said of sunni muslims. this whole world is fucked up. there's something more important than god you know. its called humanity. awsome song. LET ME Explain. | Reviewer: Benediction | 3/8/08 John is the chosen but a revelator which means Bush. "By claiming God - As his holy right (AMERICA-UNDER GOD) He's stealing a God from the Israelites Stealing a God from a Muslim, too There is only "one" God through and through." Written in the bible for every war. GOD needs to be present. BUSH cheated and cause terror instead of war. STILL UNDER the DOCTRINE OF GOD for WAR but never broke the contract however, GOD HUMORS his modesty to cheat. HOW else did he still GODS from all and still come up with only ONE GOD of all. btw, it's written into two forms of doctrine christianity and catholic to help explain HOW this is possible. I surpassed the phrophecies written into ONE whole BOOK of aka "Depeche MODE" of our current bible one name said will be the stonekey of the greatest phrophet ever to leave beyond discoveries. Contact via email to unravel top secrets of the true almighty phrophet- almighty lord soveriegnty - I before JESUS CHRIST and then... unto him. FOOLISH everybody has something to abide against he who believeth most. haha | Reviewer: Julia | 1/4/08 Noup this song is not about Bush. At least it wasn`t meant to be written about him. Gore doesn`t write about politics, religions and stuff. =) People don`t take it so seriously Review By Pages: 1 2 3 Review the song John The Revelator The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
