I totally disagree with all the people that would like to say this song is about Christians/Christianity. First off, the band doesn't like to segregate religions as shown in their song "Cold Cash and Colder Hearts." Although I know that the song sounds like it refers to the Bible. But to be honest, the Bible likes to cover almost every aspect of life and anyone can make anything seem like a reference to the Bible.
My main point is, this song seems to be taking a humane point of view on life in general. It's like a broader version of "Colder Cash and Colder Hearts" because it talks about people who feel like they're shunned or rejected by society.
"We're more than carbon and chemicals"
People aren't just things.
"Free will is ours and we can't let go"
We can decide for ourselves and we can't just go along with whatever everyone says.
"We can't allow this, the quiet cull"
This can't be left alone. A person who is rejected/shunned who is quiet and says nothing back.
"So we sing out this, our canticle"
So we chant out against this injustice.
For definitions,
Cull = Something picked out from a group, especially rejected because of inferior quality.
Canticle = A song or chant. (If you want more extreme, it's like a religious chant/song that people believe in)
Of course... my view on the song is my own. Just sharing my opinion :D
