Song meaning as told by Jon: "I always had the feeling that absolute faith in anything leaves no room for other peoples ideas as it implies that others are wrong by default. Not a great way to start a dialogue but a great way to start a fight."

Lyrics

Prey to your lonely gods
Theres so many left to choose from
They all can't be wrong

You should take
You should take a breath
Because in the end your just the same as all the rest

And your caught between the bible and the gun
When everyone claims their god's the one
What? The one

Break what is in your way
Nothing stands between us
Or nothing will remain

What you feel is only real if it's written in your heart
The words designed to keep us apart
