to me, this song is about religion, in a bad way. You wouldn't expect an anti-american band to be religious, would you?
You sit so still unmoving (the "have faith" excuse)
Smiles and pretenses (the face the clergymen put on to hide themselves)
bring them all to watch the scandals tightening (scandals being corruption of the church)
Trust!
That it's all a distraction! ("trust us, it's to test your faith")
Trust!
That your fucking...nothing! (the response given to those of a different belief; They're nothing because they OBVIOUSLY don't have their theology straight)
like a locust scraping dig in the trees (All I could get out of this was that locust are involved)
I can hear the gun-shots in the background (You can see the corruption that they try to cover up)
suffocation breathes the words of these shadows (an oxymoron saying that silencing opposition speaks more than they would like about them)
Trust!
So you remain in line (a bit self explanitory)
Open Up Your Blessed wings!
Wrap them all around all of your...things!!
Keep yourself in the company of...kings!!
It's their hands that bleed from the....strings!! (greedy, controlled)
