Comrades bond, this day will be long
Don't count your losses, gain what he gave
And we blame him for having right
Anyone lose a God, cause I found a God
Raise the question that's given here
Ponder his answer, still bleeding clean
And they rhyme you've hidden in
Won't keep long
And we blame him
And we blame him
Reasons I ask you'll know why
As sure as I'm here you'll know why
Because he won't leave me out in the cold
See how the sparrow gets fed from our Lord
Draw Close
And hold me long
Don't count your losses, gain what he gave
And we blame him for having right
Anyone lose a God, cause I found a God
Raise the question that's given here
Ponder his answer, still bleeding clean
And they rhyme you've hidden in
Won't keep long
And we blame him
And we blame him
Reasons I ask you'll know why
As sure as I'm here you'll know why
Because he won't leave me out in the cold
See how the sparrow gets fed from our Lord
Draw Close
And hold me long

there is no such thing as "anti-god" music. only a few ignorant religious pieces of crap dredged that bullshit up.
Great song! This is one of the only Chevelle songs that is openly christian. My favorite part of the song is "And the rhyme you've hidden in, wont keep long" Hardly any if not all of Chevelle's songs don't really rhyme. I think this song is a message to anyone who listens to 'anti-God' music.
just a question... if this is about welcoming religion and goes out to people who listen to 'anti-God" music... then what is skeptic about?
Hit the bottom and separate spiritually from the self. God is not lost here but found. Find God in despair. Closer but further accepting crust to eat. The pull of the soul back to God drags you along. And we look for someone to blame for the the misery. God wont leave us alone in the cold but will give us a place all our own.
I always thought it was 'Correspond, this day will be long'?
skeptic is about people telling him what to believe and what not to believe...whether its in the Bible or in whatever the other peson believes
I think it is kind of saying he does beleive in god and everything he is tired of people blaming religion for their suffering because religion also leads to their happiness. Thats what I get from it i mean i am not a huge christian but I still am one even though it isn't as important to me as some other things. Awesome song though cool acoustic parts.
I did not exactly see this as specifically religious but rather a comment upon our collective laziness and complacency. I read an interview with Pete Loeffler regarding the album and he stated that the end is that we have to leave Earth (I agree that we either leave and populate outside of our home planet or we die with this world) and the 'view of Mother Earth from other worlds' is a strong image of looking back home after you have left. However, the part that really gets me is the line 'get up, you can and you will'. To me it seems like a call to find our purpose and stop being comfortable with who we are and aspire to a greater purpose. Admittedly, the lyrics do ring true with religious themes as well, I just didn't take it that way after reading the interview.
@eric104861 You're right in what you say about the lyrics of 'So Long, Mother Earth', but page is supposed to be for a song from their debut album, Point #1, called 'Long'. Looks like the lyrics got switched out by mistake lol
