Still Remains Lyrics

Cover art for Still Remains lyrics by Alter Bridge

This appears to depict an authority figure talking to a dependent. You might picture it as a deity talking to a rebellious follower or a parent talking to a rebellious child depending on your motivations, but it seems both interpretations are probably valid.

Gotta love how some songs are set up in a way to make the religious and non-religious views appear valid and let the masses argue amongst themselves, all the while raking in the combined profits. :)
