"Condemned."
God will eventually condemn mankind as a whole for our inexplicable sins.
"My regret is not writing more for you, Lord.
As this ocean comes to be deeper our vessel becomes less stable."
The ocean is an ocean of our sins, steadily increasing in depth, and eventually, the waves will just become too powerful and our entire population will be completely corrupted.
"LOOK TO THE SKY.
Encourage the elements of God.
Rather than the jars that contain them."
Look up to God, pray to God himself, and stop containing your faith in a religion which just weakens your faith. Faith in God isn't measured by how much you go to your local church and show everyone that you are religious, but how much you trust in and believe in God.
"If only the ingredients of man were of such elements.
IF ONLY."
We worship people, idolize them so that they become untouchable (celebrities) as if they are Gods. If only they really were Gods, because then we'd actually be right in worshiping these celebrities of vanity.
"With great horror, I admit that we all live off the lust and misfortune of others.
ALL LIVE OFF THE LUST AND MISFORTUNE OF OTHERS."
Pretty self explanatory. We live for competing with other humans, for worldly achievements, when we should be competing for God and strengthening our faith. We live off being better than each other, when God sees us all as equals.
"This is vision, not contradiction.
I see greed in the face of a priest,
And deterioration in the walls of cathedrals."
Religion isn't what it once was. It was a way to strengthen your face; it is now a business and is run by greed. God is no longer found in the hearts of priests and in churches.
"What was right, now wrong,
Casts a cold reflection on glory.
LOOK TO THE SKY."
Again, we glorify people, not God. Look up to the sky, look up to God, not to people.
This is just my interpretation to the best of my abilities. I'm Muslim and I probably have a different interpretation of these lyrics, but I hope your faith is strengthened through this music.
