I'm no pro, just giving my impression, so here goes... The "Our Heroes and Martyrs/present two points of view/Which deity you’re praying to?" lyrics seem to infer that the respective deities are society (the heroes) and God (obviously, the martyrs). It also seems to me that they paint both in a negative light, Graffin being as he is both an atheist and a huge critic of those who live by their standing in society. As a Christian, however (yes, a Christian who listens to BR, thank you), one could also see the song as a "choose!" situation, wherein one would have to choose to serve the masses or God. |
