In the Wake of Pigs Lyrics

It's make me sick that it's hard to distinguish
An honest leader who preaches a cause
That's not made, and not based
On the profit they'll receive from telling the world
What line divides you from the seeders
Who sow without growing believers?
You point and you judge
Forgetting that their faith is molded by your lead

So where am I to find
A voice that's pure and urging me to climb?
There's gotta be more, there's gotta be pigs
I've joined them and clawed at the ground for my feed
I've seen bloodshed, but the wounds still remain
I laughed, I fled, I called, I cursed
I changed from "certain" to "searching,"
But nothing has answered deserving faith

You are not alone in the eye of the darkest storm
We are the lighthouse shining a lamp from the shore
To bring your journey home.
You are not alone, use this song to lead you home
We are what's left of the love that can pierce through the callous
Life you spent unturned
We are the legacy that's left to breathe the winds to sail you home
You're not alone
If you can hear this song
The battle has been won!

Don't go, don't go!
I've gotta use your voice to light the way back home
'Cause I need to see, I need to breathe
So much more than my kind is offering
Where am I to find
The voice that keeps urging me to climb?
I need to hear it again or I'll lose sight of land
and be swept of my chance to survive

Falling close to the shadows
Unleash your will to survive
Make every step draw you closer
To be the hero you've always denied

Where is your voice coming from?
Show me a sign I can trust
I need something more to believe in
A beacon, or something to merit pressing on

You are not alone, in the eye of the darkest storm
We are the lighthouse shining a lamp from the shore
To bring your journey home
You are not alone, use this song to lead you home
We are what's left of the love that can pierce through the callous
Life you spent unturned
We are the legacy that's left to breathe the winds to sail you home

You're not alone
If you can hear this song
The battle has been won!

Spread wide your wings.
Let the draft lift you up.
You've heard the call of the future flock.
You're coming home.

Favorite song! But I think the line "I've changed from surgeon to surgeon" is really "I've changed from CERTAIN to SEARCHING" seems to make more sense with the theme of the song. Also the line, "I've seen bloodshed, but the words still reamain" is "I've seen bloodshed, but the WOUNDS still remain."

Lyric Correction

I believe this song is about the daughter searching for something to believe in, but the chorus "You are not alone, in the eye of the darkest storm We are the lighthouse shining a lamp from the shore To bring your journey home You are not alone, use this song to lead you home We are what's left of the love that can pierce through the callous Life you spent unturned We are the legacy that's sent to bring the answers that you hold You're not alone If you can hear this song The battle has been won!"

The concept of this album is God and Satan have destroyed each other, and the world is left without any heaven or hell, no consequences or an afterlife. This song describes a man searching for a higher power, but finding nothing. But there appears that God is still out there, struggling to get through to him. But in the end, he does. The battle has been won!

Song Meaning

The man/priest has already lost his faith in God when his daughter was raped in "The Marriage of Steel and Skin", causing him to murder her rapist. His daughter (being an atheist) is discovering her faith in the tracks after "Hush Yael". So this is about the daughter beckoned to by those who still have faith.

It seems as if she is a Christian who feels alone at any sign of trouble.
