Well, see, to really understand what they're saying with this, one has to examine the lyrics to "In the Beginning," the introductory track from the album:
In the beginning
Good always overpowered the evils
Of all mans sins.......
But in time
The nations grew weak
And our cities fell to slums
While evil stood strong
In the dusts of hell
Lurked the blackest of hates
For he whom they feared
Awaited them.......
Now many many life times later
Lay destroyed, beaten, beaten down,
Only corpses of rebels
Ashes of dreams
And blood-stained streets.......
It has been written
Those who have the youth
Have the future
So come now children of the beast
Be strong
And shout at the devil
See? It's totally a punk rock "rise up against authority" sort of thing. Only, in this case, the "authority" is the devil, who has risen to power by dilligently beating down the good in mankind over decades or centuries of time.
Or, they wanted to call the record
Shout With the Devil but the record company said no. Either way.
