Eternal Empire Lyrics

Okay, this is another song about Christianity/God based religions. I am going to explain this in large chunks.

"A seed is planted of a greater place Where no wrongs shall ever be done Where all dreams and wishes be granted And our fears forever overcome What can you say of limited life Are you never satisfied? With no uncertainty to tread But me, I'd rather be dead

At the end they promise one more chance at life With a word, with a book, with their selfish rites On and on await the ever burning light Never take, never break, never leave the line Keeping all of worth no matter what remains When it's time nothing more enough my eyes explain Ever we endure the wisdom of mistakes Never right, never wrong but always ours to make"

This is from view of people, and likely of the band members, who don't wish to live their life all butterflies, unicorns, and rainbows in order to get into "Heaven". They are saying "Can you not be happy with the life you live? Why would you want to go to a kingdom somewhere in the abyss to live forever? Further more, they are saying that holy rollers promise that you will have an eternal, everlasting life, as so long as you live up to everything the bible says (which 0% of them do themselves). The band is telling the listener to make mistakes and learn from them. Just cause you do something bad doesn't mean you are going to burn alive for eternity. We are human, and though the "Good Book" wants to paint us a different picture, we are prone to mistakes. We should make them, and we should learn from their consequences that they should not be done.

"If I met this maker I'd beg they listen well To many histories gathered from this hell Nothing could give purpose To that I've no desire A prison of the soul Eternal empire"

The band is saying, singer in particular for the context of this song, "If I met God, I'd give him an earful pertaining to all the dustriction he has caused. War, suicide, physical and sexual abuse, close mindedness" The he is saying that nothing could justify all of these horrors and at the end of the day, you are trapping your soul within false propaganda.

I think you could pretty much piece the rest together. I also gave my 2 cents on the song before this on the track, which goes hand in hand with this. Being an Agnostic that believes that all Gods may exists and that this particular "God" is an extremist, I hope these songs are pure. Hope these explanations clear things up!
