My opinion of this song's lyrics are that the 1st to lines as many said refer to the bible. Especially that the bible "these writings" were written for sinners, mourners, etc. in order for them to find God. Like the "chorus" praising God is what sinners should be doing i think. also "fight life with life" might be fight the life of a sinner with the life of a Christian not in a physical way but in a way of a sinner taking on the morals and beliefs of a Christian. "What are we looking at? Rumors, Rumors, Rumors." Maybe thats the reaction of those who don't believe in God to the bible.
