Heaven Laid in Tears (Angels' Lament) Lyrics
Behold the skies, they're full of lies... in disguise
Behold the skies, they're full of lies... in disguise
O, creator, so long we have fallen to our knees
So long we have murdered our honor, while protecting thine
Behold the skies, they're full of lies... in disguise
Behold the skies, they're full of lies... in disguise
And we, warriors molded in the blood of his vanity
The silent, loyal shepherd who tends my light is dead... in me
So let the night take thee in her arms,
And dry these tears into her embrace
It's the end of pretending and defending...
God's holy light
El-shaddai, we serve thee, henceforth... no more
Show me heaven, show me guilt... embrace the pain
We must suffer to realize, we must despair again and again
No longer our knees we shall bend, no longer fold our frozen hands
We long for the darkness, our flames still burn for mother night...
Behold us now, as we cry, soon to die... to rise again
Behold the skies, they're full of lies... in disguise
Behold the skies, they're full of lies... hear our cries
I have seen us bathing in blood to defend his very glory
I have seen us kneel and praise for nothing...
I have seen him dying in our eyes
I have realized that god owes us his life
Behold the skies, they're full of lies... in disguise
So long we have murdered our honor, while protecting thine
Behold the skies, they're full of lies... in disguise
The silent, loyal shepherd who tends my light is dead... in me
And dry these tears into her embrace
It's the end of pretending and defending...
God's holy light
We must suffer to realize, we must despair again and again
No longer our knees we shall bend, no longer fold our frozen hands
We long for the darkness, our flames still burn for mother night...
Behold us now, as we cry, soon to die... to rise again
Behold the skies, they're full of lies... hear our cries
I have seen us kneel and praise for nothing...
I have seen him dying in our eyes
I have realized that god owes us his life

It's about worship but losing faith from being let down in their darkest hour.
I think it is about the realization that religion/god/faith is dependant upon those who follow it... Not the other way around. Without people to believe in and worship a diety, that diety basically does not exist(or dies, if you will).
