The Hidden Chapter of Daniel They Didn't Want You To Hear
The book of Daniel does not end where most people think it does. While the standard 12 chapters provide a foundation of prophecy and history, the ancient Catholic and Orthodox traditions preserve additional chapters that bring the story to a thunderous conclusion. This track, Apocalypse of Babylon, is the symphonic metal finale to our Daniel concept journey, weaving together the imagery of the extra texts to show the total collapse of man’s pride beneath the weight of God’s throne.
The History of the Hidden Chapters
For centuries, the Greek versions of the Old Testament included three major sections not found in the shorter Hebrew scrolls. These are the Song of the Three Youths, the Trial of Susanna, and the story of Bel and the Dragon. These chapters provide the final context for Daniel’s life in Babylon, showing his transition from a captive youth to a prophet who dismantled the very idols and corrupt systems of the empire. This song serves as a musical tapestry that pulls these themes into one final apocalyptic anthem.
Biblical References and Lyric Support
The Song of the Three Youths: The lyrics regarding the "unseen fire" and the "hymn of praise" are rooted in the prayer of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego while they walked within the furnace.
The Trial of Susanna: The themes of "The innocent betrayed" and "The voice of truth awakening" refer to Daniel’s first major act of wisdom in defending a woman falsely accused by corrupt elders.
Bel and the Dragon: The "Dragon slain" and "Bel has fallen" sections of the song reference Daniel proving the falsity of Babylonian idols by exposing the priests of Bel and defeating a great dragon through divine wisdom.
The Ancient of Days: The description of the fiery throne and the hair like wool comes directly from Daniel’s core apocalyptic vision of judgment.

Lyrics:
Babylon trembles, prophets cry.
Scrolls unsealed, the angels rise,
Fire and truth ignite the skies!
The golden city burns in vain,
Idols crumble in holy flame.
False kings fall as saints reign pure,
The Word of God shall still endure.
Voices call from ancient seas,
“Come out of her, O faithful these!
Its the end oh Babylon!
All the chapters now are shown!
Dragons fall and temples crash,
Heaven rises from the ash!
Bel is broken, priests deceit,
Lies are buried beneath His feet.
Susanna’s truth forever sung,
The song of youths on holy tongue.
Trumpets sound, the judgment near,
The Ancient of Days shall soon appear!
Apocalypse of Babylon,
Thrones of men forever gone!
The lion roars, the nations flee,
The Lamb of God claims victory!
Chains are broken! Night withdraws!
Heaven conquers hellish cause!
Lightning strikes! The dark undone!
Glory to the Risen Son!
“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils.” (Revelation 18:2 – echoing the prophets fulfilled in Daniel’s vision)
Flames to light, the dark revealed,
Heaven’s power fully sealed!
Apocalypse of Babylon,
The final battle has been won!
From Daniel’s fire to Heaven’s dawn,
Forever reigns the Holy One!
Ashes fall like snow on stone,
Yet Zion’s light forever shone.
The scroll is sealed, the vision told,
God reigns eternal, pure and bold
