This whole cd i may be taking very literally, but in the lyric book there are bible versus pertaining to Exodus, the chapter of the bible in which the plagues ensue. I feel that as we near the end of the CD we find that plagues have ravaged the good in the world. Yet we find that god is still there. Did god leave the Egyptians when the plagues ravaged their lands? This is the ultimate test of faith. Taking not what you want or "deserve" but what god wants for you.

"Serpents will transform into mice only to drown in the deepest red. I've always expresses my thoughts in colors, but we remain blind."

Man wants to view himself as a powerful being, yet that power is instilled upon us by god. These "serpents" have misued their power for their will, yet without god they would not be there. As the plagues tear their land and health to shreds, they fall victim and see this. Turning to "mice" or prey instead of the original predator. Their whole lives full of power have been turned around on them and they find themselves having nothing. "drowning in the deepest red" red is love, red is death, red is blood. my first thought was blood, yet now i think i have found a better answer. God loves man. Period. Sin is forgiven, all you have to do is ask. They will fall from their power and find that when they become the prey and give themselves to god, they drown in the love, become enclosed in it.
