Cover art for Empire lyrics by As Cities Burn

I very much agree with what OnDistantShores had to say, very nice.

I also would like to throw in that perhaps ACB got the Pharisee metaphor from Luke 18:9-14, which talks about the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. At least, that's what I thought of when I read that line, "I was a pharisee".

Amazing song. I love how it parallels

"God, I don't know how I was made." That line gets me every time.
