What do these lyrics mean? I've always thought most/all the members were atheist and they singing about prayer and forgiveness. Is this just a narrative kind of song like "The Sadness Will Never End"?
Thats the thing with Bring Me The Horizon. Most of them are non-religious. I wouldnt say Atheist. (I believe that if you classify yourself as Atheist then you are one of the flamboyant anti-God people.) But they incorporate many religious themes into their music.

I was raised in the valley, there was shadows and death
Got out alive but with scars I can't forget
This kid back in school, subdued and shy
An orphan and a brother and unseen by most eyes
I don't know what it was that made a piece of him die
Took a boy to the forest, slaughtered him with a scythe
Stamped on his face, an impression in the dirt
Do you think the silence makes a good man convert?

As well I read in Rock Sound recently that Oli changed some lyrics in this song, he was originally going to list all the bad things he's done in his life and that he wants forgiveness for but last minute he changed them to:
God forgive me, for all my sins
God forgive me, for everything
God forgive me, for all my sins.
