well, this speaks more of hypocrites and fake Christians giving real Christians a bad name... the 'misrepresentation' is how the people misrepresent Christ... the 'stained glass and white-washed tombs' are part of the false image of Christianity people have been given... "the hearts of those...to show you" is talking about how people call themselves Christians but Christ isn't truly in their heart... "they spoke...were lost" talks about how they were only telling the people (that this song is written for) about Jesus not because they really cared, but because they were prejudice and that the empty ritual that their faith has become is not true... and the last two lines talk about how the true Christians along with angels in heaven cry because the people are shunning Christ because a few hypocrites gave Christianity a bad name... the part at the begining says:
"I remember the first war, the way the sky burned
The faces of angels destroyed
I saw a third of Heaven's legion banished
And the creation fell/of Hell (?)
I stood with my brothers and watched and listened to the revolt
But now, my brothers aren't my brothers"
