Claws Of A God Lyrics

Brace yourself for the climb is steep
You'll need every ounce of brawn
For the mountain won't stop 'til you bleed.

Beware of headlines that volume the growing deceit
That justice will not begin to breed without smoke
Breed without smoke

Keep close things you learned from the fall
Cast your wounds to heal without flaw
Keep close things you learned from the fall
Cast your wounds to heal without flaw

Beware
Beware for there's a zealot unleashed and sighting the end
Through a scope of righteousness that's blinded by blood on the lens
He won't stop until his claws reach his faults and he sees he's not the
Hands of God

He'll choke on the smoke
Choke on the smoke

Keep close things you learned from the fall
And cast your wounds to heal without flaw
Keep close things you learned from the fall
And cast your wounds to heal without flaw

Keep close things you learned from the fall
And cast your wounds to heal without flaw
Keep close things you learned from the fall
And cast your wounds to heal without flaw

Cast your wounds
Cast your wounds or you'll choke on the smoke
Choke on the smoke
You'll choke on the smoke that you breathe from your own code

I think this song is about over religious people who preach hate and condemnation on others. The first example that came to me is that church in Westboro, going around and killing people as the "hands of a god", and condemning them, unseeing of their own sins and faults . This song is a warning about the religious type of hypocrites and a call to look at themselves fro their own sin before they "choke on the smoke" of real justice.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Song Meaning

I hope you are not advocating a free-for-all with regard to acceptance of sin. The piece about not judging is always taken out of context (ie. the rest of the writing on the topic is omitted). There are many Truths that God expects us to support and sins he expects us to condemn (the action, not the person). As for the song, I believe it's about false prophets...nothing more.

1 Corinthians 3:13-16 New King James Version (NKJV) 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you.

This is what came to mind.Alot of people building on shaky foundation.Self righteousness is a very deceptive and horrible sin.When preaching the gospel if we are preaching anything other than faith in the life,death and resurrection of Jesus,the son of God and God in the flesh than we are not preaching the truth.We all need Gods forgiveness,and if you think you are "better "than the other guy,just because you don't do x,be afraid.
