La gran batalla

Boanerges' song 'La gran batalla' delves into the timeless conflict between good and evil, set against a backdrop of a decaying civilization. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of an 'eternal city' that has abandoned its old gods, now facing destruction and ruin. This imagery suggests a society that has lost its way, clinging to outdated laws and forgotten histories. The 'secreta justicia' that remains unseen hints at a hidden moral order that persists despite the visible chaos.

The song's narrative shifts to the present, where the population is gripped by fear and uncertainty. The 'maldad' or evil is described as a mere shadow over the land, indicating that while it is pervasive, it is not insurmountable. The metaphor of a 'roca en el medio del mar' symbolizes resilience and steadfastness in the face of adversity. This resilience is further emphasized by the 'gran voz interior' that inspires people to fight, suggesting an inner strength and moral courage that drives them to stand against the encroaching darkness.

As the song progresses, it builds up to the 'gran batalla' or great battle, set in the 'valle de la oscuridad.' This battle is not just a physical confrontation but a spiritual and moral one, where a great army rises against the truth. The chorus serves as a powerful plea for divine intervention, asking the 'Señor' to open their eyes to see that they are not alone in this fight. The reassurance that 'son mucho más los que están con nosotros' provides a sense of hope and solidarity, reinforcing the idea that good will ultimately prevail over evil.
