Cover art for Who Will Guard the Guardians? lyrics by Underoath

i see it as people that have been left behind after Jesus came back to take the Christians with Him. and they are so confused about what has happened and they are being decieved by the anti christ and those like him. and they feel defeated and hopeless and question what has happened.

pretty much its hell on earth and ppl are confused.

but the singer relizes what is goin on and why this is happening and what is about to happen and is warning the others about it and praying to God for Him to do something and save them :

We are nothing they own our lives Just a statue of a stain in time Spinning in circles got left behind:

the singer sees that it is a very dark time on earth and that everyone left here was left behind by God because we were spinning and circles and completely unaware

We were all warned this would happen But the words just rang in our ears:

they had heard about God and what was about to happen and refused to believe it

Machines built by machines built by machines:

the enemys army/force

we can only hide for so long Before they harvest us for the souls that we have left:

the anti christ purpose is to decieve them and lead them in the wrong direction. keeping their souls from God and leading them to hell and the singer is telling them to watch out.

I swear we cannot wake up from this hell that we live in But when the sun finally hits our face We see that we are merely reflections of reflections left by our predecessors Dragged through the mud (we can't wake up) Chained by the ankle There is no more running there is no more escaping If only God could lay his hands down on this barren land and wake us up Cause we are the lost we are the helpless we are the forgotten ones We are the lost and we are the abandoned

he relizes he is failing and that people r still being decieved and it seems as if they are too far gone to be saved. if only God could do something about it and open up their eyes. cuz they feel helpless and confused and forsaken.

I swear it's worth saving us We pray for the sun to dry us up I need a clearer head to see what we are worth There's still life left down here to revolt Oh I know what it looks like from there A loss of control to this place and we're set to extinct :

now hes crying out to God for mercy and that they are worth saving. hes asking for God to clear his mind and give him wisdom. because he still believes there is hope and that they can overcome this and that there are still people out there willing to fight. and hes telling God that all though we look like we have lost control and we are nearing extinction we are worth saving and they can do this with Jesus with them.

Revolt We stood by defeat for so long We've been under your control We will not be a part of your disease :

they are figthing back and declaring that the decievers power over them is no more and that they will no longer believe in the enemys lies

very similar to the plot of the Left Behind series

such an amazing song. amazing band
