I think the song speaks about our ego and pride taking control. In the beginning, I believe he is speaking as a man who has great power, like a king or something, who believes he has the power to defeat evil by himself by conquering, and he speaks to God, calling Him a "weak forgiver", and saying to God, "wasting power on grace" saying that God is basically weak and too forgiving, basically challenging the Lord. And he also says, "Don't send an angel to face the devil", he's saying that angels can't beat the devil, but he, a simple man can.
And then the chorus kicks in with the Lord saying, "If you could see like Me you'd see you haven't won anything... If you could see like Me you'd see it's by My grace you're breathing." That's God scolding this man, telling him that he is nothing special, and that he truly knows nothing. And after the chorus, is God speaking, telling this man His wrath and who will always be the conqueror over all, because in the end the Lord WILL have them all.
We are the egotistical man, displaying our pride and how it makes us blind, unable to see like the Lord. Awesome song! I think we're in for another awesome hit from Oh, Sleeper.
