there are a couple of really good interviews in the latest issues of revolver and alt. press and cory talks about the lyrics in this song specifically:
"Carry your flags, march into that fictional cause and show off that medal.
Just don't reach for that gun.
Carry that banner. Build that heart out of stone.
Just don't reach for that gun."
he is talking about how Christians so readily prosecute one another for not having the true faith or whatever, when Christians should love everyone equally. i love the fact that Norma Jean is a Christian band and they will tackle hard subjects like this one...its what makes them one of, if not the, premeire heavy band out there, Christian or not.
