For We Are Many Lyrics
OH YEAH!
The fire it rages
It burns clear in the night
Illuminates the path before us
Now true our arrows strike
Defy, we heed the call
Defy, strengthen us all
Defy, for we are many
Rising against you
Defy, we heed the call
Defy, strengthen us all
Defy, for we are many
Rising to crush you
Now the tide is turning
Our might striking fear
Our passion foretells our triumph
Smite those who stand against us
Defy, we heed the call
Defy, strengthen us all
Defy, for we are many
Rising against you
Defy, we heed the call
Defy, strengthen us all
Defy, for we are many
Rising against you
We are your fast approaching doom
Now tremble
Let the tyrants fall
Let the sons heed their call
Let the tyrants fall
We are your fast approaching doom
It burns clear in the night
Illuminates the path before us
Now true our arrows strike
Defy, strengthen us all
Defy, for we are many
Rising against you
Defy, strengthen us all
Defy, for we are many
Rising to crush you
Our might striking fear
Our passion foretells our triumph
Smite those who stand against us
Defy, strengthen us all
Defy, for we are many
Rising against you
Defy, strengthen us all
Defy, for we are many
Rising against you
Let the sons heed their call
Let the tyrants fall
We are your fast approaching doom

I think this is one of those subjective songs. It's probably meant as alot of things, but the real meaning is how you interperet it. Could it be about Christianity? Maybe. Government? Possibly. I think it depends on how you take it

Another sick song by ATR. They still have it; this is better than all of Overcome, which wasn't too bad itself.
This song is about my favorite topic! -fighting the good fight, as St. Paul would put it.
The message is really straight forward: defy evil, defy fear, defy hatred, defy tyrants, defy the oppression of sin, defy Satan.
We are many, that is, we Christians are strong in number, but most importantly in spirit. With the power of God on our side, and with His Holy Spirit, we have the strength to eradicate the strongholds of evil.
Now the tide is turning: As Gen 3:15 said, although evil won the battle on Good Friday, good won the war on Easter Sunday.
Satan is a defeated foe, and his eternal banishment is quickly approaching. Let evil beware! We who stand on the firm rock of Jesus Christ are coming, and we will bring your doom.

BB4Christ Theres no way that this song has any Christian connotation, not trying to start a flame war or anything by the way. Maybe if you want to warp the lyrics to a Christian value set as you did, but from listening to other songs by All That Remains theres no way its religious in any sense.
Case and point My Indictment off of The Fall of Ideals. The breakdown is as follows
This is my indictment of your beliefs This is my indictment of what you hold dear
My eyes have seen the horrors that you Commit in the name of your god Your god is violence Your god is unholy Your god is violence Your god is unholy
All That Remains points out how evil the church has become, from the crudades to their lack of action taken in the rampant cases of pedophilia that exists in the clergy. Not to mention their disgusting fear mongering tactics that all lead back to the one thing that the church is truly after which is money.
ANYWAYS the songs fucking amazing and in my opinion one of All That Remains' best.
That is not what Indictment is about, it's about the terrorists in iraq. There god is unholly by "making" them feel that doing what they did is right. And the your god is vioence is more or less the same as the last the previous line,

Dude, you talk about how he warped the meaning of the words, you just did the same thing. Its talking about extremists in Iraq. Not only that, but I hope you know that a few members of the band are Christian, which if you take a closer look at their songs, you'll see alot of their songs stem from Christian influence. Maybe not in a worshipping God sense, but in Christian value sense. Alot of there songs talk about core Christian values, and in result, alot of their songs are oddly very positive, which is uncommon in metal bands that...

Alot of there songs talk about core Christian values, and in result, alot of their songs are oddly very positive, which is uncommon in metal bands that don't fall under the Christian Metal label. Plus you could also say that almost the total lack of profanity in the band is caused by the Christian influence within the band.
From what I've heard in interviews, Phil, their main lyricist, is not strictly Christian. I believe he was raised in a Christian background, but his views sounded more agnostic, but with values that may also be present in Christianity.

I personally think their songs have nothing to do with religion whatsoever. (Well obviously Indictment does, but I'm saying generally.) I think they're more about the power of people.

How we have power within us, and a lot of this album sounds like getting people as a whole to band together against tyrants and the other shit in the world. To be strong and prevail for ourselves. No gods included.
But truthfully, I doubt this song is strictly about Christianity as the other guy was saying.
I spoke to Phil! He's not a Christian. :D

Personnally i didn't really care for this song, it is good though, just not one of my favorites. I did love the intro to it though, Now Let Them Tremble. Now THAT was good. I couldn't find that on here to post for it though.....
ROCK ON ATR!!!
this song is great i love it and love them!! <3ATR<3
You can really tell when ATR's CD's are produced by Adam. There is a definite sound change in this song then there was in Overcome.

hmm, i think that it has got to be about how all of the metal lovers should rise up to overpopulate the beiber lover...
Amen
Amen
I agree. It's time they go down, they never shoulda rose up...

This song is about overtaking and fixing the peice of shit government the Republic of the United States Government has become, and as most of you do not know tyrants are mercelious rulers who take advantegde of their power.
Jesus, learn to spell. Its an awesome song but the lyrics are open to anykind of interpretation.

This song is a representation of anarchy and the people we are the anarchists the brothers in arms and the creators we must defy to rise above the tyrants of the day and to succeed our ancestors and to create the place we belong we must destroy the place we are held in all of our lives. DEFY NEVER FALTER!!! ATR!!!
I love this sing By the way.
