`Raining Blood` is not just an apocalyptic image. It is about punishment becoming a world with rules. When the first timed words arrive around 1:21, the speaker is already trapped in purgatory and waiting for reprisal; the music has prepared that meaning by making the track feel sealed before the lyric explains it. Around 1:30, the red sky and return to power widen the scene from private punishment into environment. Around 1:49, betrayal and the past are pulled into the same structure.

The song is not looking for release from violence. It is organizing violence into judgment. That is why the title phrase at 2:38 lands with such force. "Raining blood" is short enough to function like a verdict, and the next sky image turns above into an active wound. By the final minute, the meaning has become simpler and worse: the attack can end, but the rule it revealed remains. The returning rain leaves the listener inside a place where horror has weather.
