Lyric discussion by ExaminerJosh 

Cover art for The Listening lyrics by Eyes Set to Kill

Actually there was an interview with Alexia about the song, including the meaning. It's actually about the people whom only pray to God when they want something, ie- a promotion at work, a new car, things like that. She was angry about the fact that people only show their "faith" when it could benefit them.

The lines -

Where will you turn when your god has abandoned you? Where will you turn when he leaves you to die?

are directed at those people. If you only talk to God when you want something and have done nothing to honor, or praise Him, dont be surprised if a day comes when you NEED God's help and things dont go as planned.
