Welcome to your life
We have got you in our sights
And thoughts of God are better left alone
It's in your head black n' blue
What they told you wasn't true
Come along and fight with the unknown
The army's grown

We'll pray to all the wrong decisions
Whoa oh oh
This time you'll show all that you can be
Whoa oh oh
Grab your weapons now
We'll run against the crowd
And changing history

So, lets take the vow
We will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion
Your voice is proud
Be your savior now
The battle's won for the new religion

No one can defeat what the congregation speaks
Bound together the flag that we defend
They made a fool out of you
But you knew just what to do
Raise your fists up and stand until the end
Amen

We'll pray to all the wrong decisions
Whoa oh oh
This time you'll show all that you can be
Whoa oh oh
Grab your weapons now
We'll run against the crowd
And changing history

So, lets take the vow
We will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion
Your voice is proud, be your savior now
The battle's won for the new religion

Come now and imagine with me
Taking back a world that once was ours
Let's regain the power
And then we will end what we've begun

Lets take the vow,
We will show you how
Your time has come for the new religion
Your voice is proud
Be your savior now
The battle's won for the new religion

We are the unholy
We are the bastard sons of your media culture
Our minds, eyes and bodies were born of your exclusion
An illusion you hide behind
You don't love a god, you love your comfort
To you we are filth, we are dirty, so be it
We are dirty and unclean, a congregation of the unseen
Together we will set this world on fire
This is the new religion
Amen

    this song.. well this explanation is going to be long haha! ok first off, this song addresses the 'outcasts'. ''its in your head black and blue, what they told you wan't true come along and fight wiht the unknown'' this is refering to the immages that society is cramming down our throats as 'normal' and 'acceptable' and that you shouldn't listen to that because, hey who wants to be normal right? dare to be different! ''we'll pray to all the wrong decisions... changing history'' rebel against normal! show others that just because your different, doesn't mean that your the equivelent to gum on the bottom of someone's shoe, you're a force to be reconed with deary! '' no one can defeat what the congregation speaks... amen'' if we all stand together, we can show society that we're not what they think we are, that we're NOT a stereotype, that we're so much more, we are original and awesome and we have gamechanging ideas, all we need is an opportunity to show them that :) ''we are the unholy...amen'' translation: we're here, we've BEEN here, you've just chosen to ignore us. yea, we're not apart of your perfect vision of society but you know what? who gives a flip? we're going to do what we want to do and you can't do anything about it so :p

    how that helps alittle ^-^;

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
