A shadow in these walls… Yes that is all I am. A prison deep under fortress grounds where they spill the blood of man.
A second chance at life is all I've dreamed of. For now inside these walls I stay.
Sitting far away, I watch the blackness grow. Never mind what is underneath the stone. It’s a life that we’re living all alone. Step out in the rain and feel the deep sorrow. Light is calling from the narrow road.
Sometimes kindness speaks in tongues with one of them. I can see love in her eyes. And if I fall, death will never stain one of his hands, I find safety in these lies.
A second chance at life is all I've dreamed of. For now inside these walls I stay.
Sitting far away, I watch the blackness grow. Never mind what is underneath the stone. This life we live alone. Step out in the rain and feel the deep sorrow. Light is calling from the narrow road.
The chains are part of me. Stale air is all I breathe down here. I need to find a way. I’m gonna find my way far from here… Another chance at life is fading slowly. Upon the cross I burn.
Sitting far away, I watch the blackness grow. Never mind what is underneath the stone. This life we live alone. Step out in the rain and feel the deep sorrow. Light is calling from the narrow road.
Sitting far away, I watch the blackness grow. (Never mind what is underneath the stone) Never mind what is underneath the stone. We live alone. Step out in the rain and feel the deep sorrow. Light is calling from the narrow road

I know this a concept album and that it has a whole story to it, but I feel like the whole album relates to us in some way. This song speaks to me more than the others (But the other songs are amazing too).
I feel as if the person is the song has inner-demons that he cannot seem to overcome. He wishes he could have a clean slate(A second chance at life is all I've dreamed of). He feels like no one really understands him ( This life we live alone). He is destined to have this 'disease' forever(The chains are part of me.) I am a very religious person, so it is interesting how Spencer adds, "Upon the cross I burn." To me we all have burdens or crosses and sometimes they get the best of us, which seems to happen in this case.
Personally I am a recovering addict so when it says, "I need to find a way. I’m gonna find my way far from here." This reminded me of myself when I realized that my disease was ruining my life. This song echos within me.
Anyways, That is my interpretation. Juggernaut is the greatest album ever. So much epicness!
@DKB Yeah definitely.
@DKB Yeah definitely.
The whole story is roughly about a boy born into a cult. The ritual performed during his birth was an attempt to birth a demon of some sorts (him) the rest of the album goes through what he does, his suffering and murders etc., and finally his redemption. I'm unsure exactly what this specific section (Priestess) refers to but the lyrics and story as a whole are pretty messed up.

Also good luck on your recovery!

i love the part after the first chorus.
Sometimes kindness speaks in tongues with one of them I can see love in her eyes And if I fall death will never stain one of his hands I find safety in these lives
the subject we should understand first is what does "her" and "his" referred to?
here's my interpretation
"her" is i think refer to Mother Nature, to me that translate to surrounding, so to put it in context: The protagonist saw something "beautiful" in nature( maybe kindness of others or something in that particular) and thought that maybe there's still hope in life, then in that same moment his mind reflect all the wrong doing and bad things he have done. "And if I fall death will never stain one of his hands " . "His" i think refer to God himself.
"if I fall death will never stain one of his hands "as if even if he dies, the God wouldn't care because he's sinful ( maybe they use the hindu's concept of God since hindu portrayed God having many hands ) and that translates to: He couldn't find solace as his past haunted him which prevented him to proceed in life along with having any thoughts about hope.
lastly the part "i find safety in these lies" could mean that, he knew there's still chance in life but due to his past that's haunted him, he chose to stay in his current state which is wallowing in his own sadness and failure in life because he's afraid he's going to fail again.
btw sorry for poor explanation, english is not my main language.
