Additional Information
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." From The Edge radio station website
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
