Thrice – The Messenger Lyrics 14 years ago
knowing that dustin will take lyrics from literature I think that would be a logical way of finding the core message of this song.

"and in fear and trembling they will close their eyes to everything, and be content to await what will be the end of it all"

comes from one of the most controversial piece of literature ever written "the protocols of the learned elders of zion" It is a manifesto on how to take over the world written over a century ago using control of all mass media, banking, terrorism, and by breaking down values and faith in the world. This song is littered with corresponding metaphors.

"Kiss the coals, breath in smoke and i say here i am send me"
" a wooden saws quite a way to die"

I challenge anyone to go and read this and tell me I'm wrong.
