I hate to say it, but none of you guys are exactly right. I'm not trying to be arrogant, but the actual basis of this album was to write about a time when God becomes so tired of being shut out by men, He leaves, He dies, He goes to sleep forever. Essentially, God cuts Himself off from men. And here we have the final and most truthful song of them all. The hopelessness. We have people who return again to seek God but don't find Him. They seek a sign, but instead are greeted by death. And in death, they do not find the rewards that once were held when God was with them, instead they find something else. And though God is their everything, it is to late and their souls grow cold. Though God would never abandon us like this, it is a scary thing to try and comprehend. This is the basis of the whole album.
