I think that in this song, As I Lay Dying refers to the current situation of the world: as we sometimes believe achieve freedom, happiness and comfort with money and therefore we are able to steal, lie, kidnap and even shed the blood of our brothers only for after losing everything because of alcohol and drugs.
Moreover I think allude to the bondage church, because we often believe that what is established by it is right when in fact the church are just humans like all of us.
The idea is that we are not required to comply with all that is decreed, but rather to make what we believe is correct.
