Wow, I really love to read all these different interpretations people give to those songs. Any song means anything to anyone, as long as it relates to someones perspective and life. What I want to say with perspective is that most hold on to the traditional image they have with the word 'God'. Most of you see the way in witch the common meaning of the word 'God' is deconstructed, but in my opinion you're not taking it far enough. Humans are not created to the image of God, God is created through an image of us. We have created God in our minds, witch makes him real to hell of a lot of people.
So what I think this lyrics says, and what John explains in a 'blog' page about the empyrean (witch has unfortunately been removed), is that WE are the ones who create. 'I hear all your prayers, because I'm each one of you'. And through us, 'creation is not something I did, it's something that I do'. It is Johns inner divine voice who speaks to us, under the pseudonym of God. The album stands for a dialog between the conscious 'I' and the unconscious or subconscious 'I'.
Of course, even given this way of seeing things, there are still a lot of lines witch remain unexplained. But I think that's the beauty of these lyrics and, as I dare to say, literary texts in general. They live.
