In the first verse Dan sings about a religious man;
"Live the life of the faithful one
Wanna bow to the floor."
In the rest of the verse he is critical about modern society.
Then the chorus starts about the 'mouth of the river',
'wrath of the giver' and 'hands of a sinner'.
Well first 'mouth of the river':
I guess this refers to the biblical paradise. In the bible the paradise is located at the point where two rivers (Euphrates and Tigris) meet.
Then 'wrath of the giver'.
Which obviously refers to the biblical God who banished Adam and Eve from
this paradise.
And finally 'hands of a sinner'.
This is a reference to the action which led to the exile of paradise;
eating from the forbidden tree.
So I guess it's a biblical song which would make sense because of Dan's Christian background.

@PlaceCalledTomorrow I agree. I also think “by the hands of a sinner” is meant to be anyone (him, you, me). This way making the personal connection.
