Fierce Battle (Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne)

The song 'Fierce Battle (Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne)' by Shoji Meguro is not a conventional song with lyrics that tell a story or express personal feelings, but rather a piece that is part of the soundtrack for the video game 'Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne'. Shoji Meguro is a renowned composer known for his work on the soundtracks of the Megami Tensei series, which often blend rock, electronic, and orchestral elements to create atmospheric and evocative music that complements the game's themes of apocalypse, demonology, and philosophical struggles.

The lyrics of 'Fierce Battle' seem to draw heavily from biblical imagery, particularly from the Book of Revelation, which speaks of the end times, the wrath of God, and the final judgment. Phrases like 'Drink of the wine of the wrath of God' and 'Fear God and give glory to him' are direct references to apocalyptic scripture. The repeated line 'One More God Rejected' could be interpreted as a challenge to the divine, a common theme in the Shin Megami Tensei series where deities from various mythologies are often confronted and questioned by the player.

The metaphor of being 'the bug inside you' suggests an invasive, persistent presence, perhaps symbolizing the internal struggle or the influence of demonic entities that are central to the game's narrative. The song's intense and foreboding tone matches the game's dark atmosphere, where players navigate a post-apocalyptic world filled with chaos and moral ambiguity. The lyrics, combined with Meguro's dramatic composition, serve to immerse the player in the game's world, where the battle between gods and demons is a fierce and personal experience.
