Ok first off, great explanation, but I want to clarify. "Ate the bread that once was stones Fell from a cliff never broke a bone Bowed down to get the kings overthrown Now I'm all alone and the fires grows and I'm all alone and the fires grows" This is an illusion to Jesus Christ. The first line talks about when Jesus was in the desert and was temped by the devil. The devil told Jesus to command a stone to turn to bread so that Jesus would break his oath of fasting and eat. The second line is another temptation. The devil said to Jesus, "If you are truly the son of God, then jump from this cliff and have the angels catch you, for surely God would not let his only son be harmed." The next line was I believe the last temptation. The devil told Jesus that he had the power to rule all of man, to avoid death, and be all powerful; all Jesus would have to do is bow to Satan and the kings of the world would be cast from their thrones. "Ate the bread that once was stones Fell from a cliff never broke a bone Bowed down to get the kings overthrown" These lines show how faulty a life the man in the song lived. He gave into every temptation the devil put before him and did not live like Jesus. The last line could be talking about many things, either the Burning Bush, the Holy Spirit, or Hell. Probably Hell since he is all alone and surrounded by fire. Now I'm all alone and the fires grows and I'm all alone and the fires grows" Just wanted to add that. |
