Ministry of Saints Lyrics
When the lights go down you feel it come alive
Driven by the dread of love that never passes by
When the night unfolds a veil across the day
Waiting for the flood to come to wash the stains away
Look at the clouded sky
Poisoned rain, angels cry
Cracks show in the seal
Tonight a thousand angels fall
Heaven's up against the wall
Changes holding sway
We can make you anyone
By the morning we'll be gone
The ministry of saints
You're afraid to disappear beneath the waves
Bread and circus, bread and wine
They rain on your parade
Round and round and round
You're spinning like a wheel
Crying for redemption you break the seventh seal
We're cleansing your soul from sin
Plead for you, angels sing
We're taking pride of place
Tonight a thousand angels fall
Heaven's up against the wall
And change is holding sway
We can make you anyone
By the morning we'll be gone
The ministry of saints
Tonight a thousand angels fall
Heaven's up against the wall
And change is holding sway
We can make you anyone
By the morning we'll be gone
The ministry of saints
Driven by the dread of love that never passes by
When the night unfolds a veil across the day
Waiting for the flood to come to wash the stains away
Poisoned rain, angels cry
Cracks show in the seal
Heaven's up against the wall
Changes holding sway
We can make you anyone
By the morning we'll be gone
The ministry of saints
Bread and circus, bread and wine
They rain on your parade
Round and round and round
You're spinning like a wheel
Crying for redemption you break the seventh seal
Plead for you, angels sing
We're taking pride of place
Heaven's up against the wall
And change is holding sway
We can make you anyone
By the morning we'll be gone
The ministry of saints
Heaven's up against the wall
And change is holding sway
We can make you anyone
By the morning we'll be gone
The ministry of saints

The only important line here is the fourth. The stains are irreligion or corruption. Yahweh made the flood to cleanse corruption, and will do so again when the corruption is complete.
Look at the clouded sky Poisoned rain, angels cry Cracks show in the seal
Angels cry poison rain because they are corrupted. Rain used to be seen as Angel's tears, so poison rain would be corrupted angels tears (as poinson rain is corrupted rain in a sense)
Tonight a thousand angels fall Heaven's up against the wall Changes holding sway We can make you anyone By the morning we'll be gone The ministry of saints
"By the morning we'll be gone" means that since "Heaven's up against the Wall" the Ministry of Saints will be gone by the morning. They represent the uncorrupted portion of the religious.
And I can't find any more meaning in the rest.
I think that this song could be about angels falling from the grace of God and eventually becoming demons, who grant you some wished, but "by the morning" they'll "be gone". Still confuses me though...
i think that this song means to free yourself from religion telling you what to do or don't so heaven's up against the wall, changes hold sway, the angels are the "bad guys", and the ministry of saints travel from place to place convincing people not to be slaves of religion (hence we can make you anyone) OR there are the bad angels, poisoned rain and stuff, so the ministry of saints will judge the angels and punish the bad ones when the seventh seal is broken(the judgement day) and that's also the flood i dunno, complicated song
