Another Holy War

This song is, I think, about the doubt that jesus would have about the numerous wars that have been laid in his name.

"another crucifixion for another holy war"

I think it refers to Jesus himself. On the one hand It's about the things he did and said, and on the other hand it's about his doubts ("Why am I born, will I fail to rise again").

Yes this is defanatly about Jesus and the proof is the lines "Never Never Ending Pain And Agony, Hit Me Nail Me Make Me God"

I definitely think this, and Precious Jerusalem are about Jesus of Nazareth. It speaks of his life and of his death. It talks of his doubts, Judas' betrayal, and I think his views on wars taken in his name.

I hadn't thought of the Dune aspect, but that is an interesting thought; though not much of the song could be tied with it.

this is one of my favorite blind guardian songs. i guess the song equates the death of a fighter in a holy war to the crucifixtion of christ.

i believe that its about the templars...

Actually, I'm fairly sure it's about Frank Herbert's Dune series.

Jesus proclaimed himself to be the son of God, and never claimed to be God himself.

However, Paul Atreides (Muad'Dib) becomes the Messiah of the Fremen, goes blind and yet still sees ("You won't believe the blind can see") and then proclaims himself God-Emperor.

He also leads "another holy war" (the first being supposedly the Butlerian Jihad).

Of course, the crucifixion parts do point to Christ - I think perhaps the song is a comparison of the Biblically-inspired Dune books and the actual story of Jesus.

This seems to be Jesus's reaction to the Crusades.

I also interepreted this song about Jesus. The crucifiction and all that, and isn't there a religon that proclaims Jesus isn't the Son of God but God himself? The only parts that conflict this is "Another holy war". I'm not too sure if Jesus caused a war or at least a conflict.
