Contents

The Time of the Oath is, according to Andi Deris, based off of the prophecies of Nostradamus. The "Time of the Oath" refers to the prophecies made for the years 1994 to 2000. Nostradamus believed that there would be a third World War followed by a millennium of peace if humans made the right choices. The album is meant to reflect the choices of humanity. The Keeper that appears on this album, having returned from the first two Keepers album and to later return on the third, could represent God, or the stupidity of humanity in the form of the seventh trooper found on the song "Before the War".
