Actually this song is about the persecution of pagans, gypsy s, witches, etc., and for that matter every other religion by the church. There's perfect harmony in the rising and the falling of the sea.- The pagans (I use the term loosely) look to nature instead of the church. And as we sail along I never fail to be astounded by the things well do for promises and a song. - Is it not astounding that people burned others alive in the name of religion, which is the promise of salvation and eternal life. We are the innocent, we are the damned. -These people innocent. But, they got caught in the middle of the battle of good and evil, "the lion and the lamb." We bring you fantasy we bring you pain. - Not too sure but perhaps an allusion to the ideas of these religion. Or possibly stories and folklore. We're your one great chance for a miracle or we will disappear never to be seen again. - They know that the church is not the true religion. The truth comes from within, not from a priest. And if the church wins and these people disappear that knowledge is lost forever. The miracle would be mankind knowing he is not damned, and realizing how beautiful we could be as a society. We bring you beautiful, we teach you sin. - Makeup and sacred sexuality. Makeup is of "pagan" origins. Sacred sexuality is definitely frowned upon by the church. Same thing with the miracle....we do need one. We are the innocent, we cut we bleed. - Easy, they're people too, not monsters, demons or evil people. As some would have us believe. They'll take your diamonds and give you steel. - They'll take your inner peace and give you weapons to fight for them. Think about the crusades. You'll be caught in the middle of the madness, lost like them and part of all the pain they feel. - You'll be caught up in the middle of all the crap the church has pushed onto mankind. Lost like them, never knowing the truth, and feeling all the pain that comes from not finding it. They say you're beautiful and they'll always let you in. - The doors are always open at the church right? The doors are never open to the child without a trace of sin. - This could mean Jesus, but I think there's something deeper there. |
