Does the border temple fall down
I fall down
When the approaching light in me has stayed
It takes me back
Do you float the sanctuary
And bury
What a messenger can trade in trades in
Takes me back against the everglades
Back against the out-of-state
This is the last place I go for now
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last place I go to
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last thing I say
Does it matter that I fall down
My wall down
When the border is inside or remained
Brings me back
Do you know the adversary
And carry
All the burdens of peoples' pasts
Takes me back against the everglades
Back against the out-of-state
This is the last place I go for now
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last place I go
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last thing I say
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last thing I say
The road can be stronger
The road can lay longer
The road can . . .
The road can lay longer
The road can be stronger
The road can . . .
The road can lay longer
The road can be stronger
I fall down
When the approaching light in me has stayed
It takes me back
Do you float the sanctuary
And bury
What a messenger can trade in trades in
Takes me back against the everglades
Back against the out-of-state
This is the last place I go for now
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last place I go to
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last thing I say
Does it matter that I fall down
My wall down
When the border is inside or remained
Brings me back
Do you know the adversary
And carry
All the burdens of peoples' pasts
Takes me back against the everglades
Back against the out-of-state
This is the last place I go for now
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last place I go
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last thing I say
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last thing I say
The road can be stronger
The road can lay longer
The road can . . .
The road can lay longer
The road can be stronger
The road can . . .
The road can lay longer
The road can be stronger

If this was a straightforward, orthodox re-telling of the story of Paul's "conversion," I think it would reference a church and not a temple. Temples, in the biblical sense, are Jewish and churches are Gentile. I think the song is from the point of view of the original Judeo-Christians who were displaced by Paul's "vision" of a gentile Christianity.
"Back against the everglades, back against the out-of-state."
They've been driven back into the wasteland, across the borders of the Promised Land, by a gentile who didn't even know Jesus ("Do you know the emissary, and carry, all the burdens of a people's past?").
