For me this is more about getting saved, and the conviction we feel when we do wrong, tha we have sinned
We fell in love, with dust in our lids
And the pain of a severed soul
(Getting saved)
We lowered our heads and lifted our face
Placed our bodies in celebration
On the lips of a mutilated man
I carry the bones of a deformed child
(This is about our human nature, and how we should abandon it and follow the words of jesus, instead of carrying the renmants of our former lives)
And my own polluted breath
I speak the old man's words
In a persuasive eloquence
(I agree with Sir Doof on this one, old man here probably refers to Satan more than to God
Bless the dust that hides
This unlamented head
(The things that make us realize how much we depend on the Lord
On the crest of fire, our wings are burning
How glorious the pain
And the ways of God, shriek out of tune
(The conviction of having sinned and needing to be forgiven, and how we are not in communion with Him until we pray and ask forgivance. Though it hurts, this is also a sign that we are really saved.
All is lost but hope
On the crest of fire
Our wings are burning
To the wind's anthem
All is lost but hope
(He has lost all he earthly was, and only has the hope of Heaven which guides him/her.)
