| To me this song is talking about Jesus . 1st verse Jesus is hanging on the cross and is to weak to speak from the abuse he has taken he has seen all that human life can give. This was one of his purposes. His followers must do his bidding. He asks all sons of God to come forward refering to them as young one becouse only he can forgive sin. We then jump forward to just after the crucifiction when Jesus is dead he is conquering " demon foes " meaning the devil and his demons. "The hero breaks his blade" Im still trying to pinpoint that one. " Cast the shadow long " when jesus died on the cross the bible says a the earth went dark. "That I may hide my face" meaning the shame and hurt Jesus felt when he took on the sin of the world. The Bible says God the father couldnt look upon his son when he was carrying the sin of the word. "In this cloak of darkness" meaning the cloak of sin. "Lying at my feet I see the offering you bring" meaning before Christ was crucified the jewish law required an offering to God because the " mark of Cain is on our faces " the mark of cain meaning the mark of sin. Cain commited the first act of murder in the bible by killing his brother able. "Trapped in lifes parade a king without a crown" meaning when Jesus was on earth he was still the king of all kings however he did not where a crown as the traditional king might. "My smile might seem a frown meaning when he was on the cross he was in great pain and "frowning" but he was doing what he knew had to be done and so was happy becouse of this. "With talens wrought of steel I tore the heart of doom" meaning Jesus defeated satan and the "doom" at its very heart that mankind faced. On the third day Jesus was dead he beat the grave and at that "moment he saw beyond the tomb" Jesus had stood where no man goes and above the din I rose is talking about how Jesus acended to heaven "din" meaning the world. The bible says the devil is like a lion seeking whom he may devour. Remember daniel in the lions din? The earth is as a lions den. The last line is from the point of view of a man "life is amusing though we are losing drowned in tears of aw. The bible teaches it is apointed to man once to die "losing". "Drowned in tears of aw." Thpugh we must face death what we will inherit and what Jesus did for us is enough to make you weep in joyful and thankfull tears of aw. I dont know what the writer intended but this is my interpretation. I think its pretty accurate. | |
