yeah the "sin i didnt care for, but a sin that paid my debts.." i believe is about the executioner being the executioner. like the "sin" is his job. he breaks the commandments and kills, no matter if "social justice" deems it justifiable.
i believe this is about him realizing that kezia is different. he knows he shouldn't kill her but is anyway, and until now hadnt realized that what hes doing is actually morally wrong but socially correct which is a huge problem in soceity.
he almost comes to terms with himself and stops the execution "drop the gun, shake away the blindfold from your eyes" but then realizes its his job and duty overpowers moral responsibility.
the songs on the album i believe adhere to the fact that kezia is something different. that she is showing the world something, i believe to be the fact that womens rights are to far and too little still, and that people can die for a crime not worth dying for while others commint heinous crimes and are set free, which ties into "social justice" theme that is prevalent in this cd. and in being different kezia affects the people around her, showing them the true beliefs and truth of what there doing in their lives.
first the priest than the prison guard/executioner and finally us the listener who ahs been taken on this turbulent journey.
its all and underlying message, a moral, like aesops fables
and its hinted that were learning morals from the repeated use of the word "moral".
protest the hero is an amazing band to have come up with such a complex adn intricate yet highly enjoyable and deep listening experience.
