Wall of Arms Lyrics

It is clearly a song about the band's atheism, especially in the following lines:

Through these eyes There's no god above me No devil below me No purgatory, no pearly gates The worms are what await me It�s only me that can forgive me and I have faith, oh...I have faith I have faith, oh...I have faith In those who put up with me

They're almost mocking the christian views of a forgiving god, and saying they have faith not in god but in their friends and family.
