Cover art for The Believers lyrics by How To Destroy Angels

Its about religion + destruction

(Christianity or Islam, you decide)

Muddy trail beside the water - The water is religion, the muddy trail is fundamentalists Leads the lambs into the slaughter - leads the brainwashed to do things like kill and blow themselves up. Hands and knees, we all atone - we will all pay for this Path is paved with blood and bone - with our dead loved ones Trembling hands reveal their purpose - Nervous hands reveal a bomb Blisters form beneath the surface - blisters form under the skin of those near No one gonna make us leave - nobody can talk them out of this brainwashed state We're the ones that still believe - believers have to do it themselves

Fear comes piercing through the silence - when the belief causes fear of others In the air, the scent of violence - an eye for an eye Watching from above the trees - Watching from our buildings We're the ones that still believe - we bow to the gods at our own peril

Each track on the album is about how to "destroy angels".

your taking this song way to literally it does make obvious refernces to christianity in most of the first part (psalm 23:something "the lord is my sheperd he leadeth me by the still waters........") christians pray for atonement for their sins on their hands and knees, and 9 times out of 10 peoples hands tremble when they have ill intentions and are about to act on them (try it) as for the line about blisters, I cant really explain it with words its more of a feeling you wouldnt understand unless youve felt it. in short the whole song...
