"Well I dreamed this night a thousand times
But I never knew that I'd be burning inside
In the moment when we decide
If the innocent live and the guilty die"
This is referring to heretics in the middle ages who had to face a trial to determine whether they were innocent or guilty.
"I can't believe it's true but
Devotion's on the rise and they're looking for you.
Burning bright like a thousand suns and
We'll never stop until we're sure we've won."
This is how the Christians would hunt Pagans, Heretics, Witches, and Heathens. After they were caught, they were burned at the stake. This explains the 'burning bright like a thousand suns'.
"Can't hope to combat the motion
Can't stop the feedback devotion
Can't stop it, tried but it continues
Transcend it or be consumed"
When Christianity was first introduced, it spread like wildfire. Pagan emperors tried to fight it, but the more they fought, the stronger their Christian enemies became. Eventually almost all Pagan culture was consumed by Christianity.
"And in the wreck of failed diplomacy
Challenge order well I'll follow your lead
Just a few more steps and then you're free
But you'll never know 'cuz they don't want you to see"
Around this time, many people were looking for a new meaning in life, and they chose to follow Jesus Christ because he was a rebel who spoke against authority. Christian leaders would encourage people to 'free themselves' but the truth was kept hidden and the Bible was basically a lie.
"On target and we're flying blind
And I'm scared to look because I know what I'll find
Never knew that it would end this way
Watching paradise go down in flames but
I won't give up, I won't give way
In the moment of truth I won't surrender my name
Because there's no more limits and no more fear
Because I know that the end is near"
Many Pagan martyrs 'watched their lives go down in flames' but chose to remain martyrs instead of giving up their lives to Christianity. They knew they were gong to die so they did not fear anymore.
I don't know if the Night Riders are the Witches themselves or the people hunting them.
