You will release your life
Forgetting what's forsaken the reason why
You are alone again
You will believe the lie
Judging from what you've taken
You breathe, alive
You are alone again
From the heart of darkness
You call to me
Spirit racing on
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one
You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
You will begin to cry
Hearing the silence breaking
You breathe, alive
But you are alone again
From the heart of darkness
You call to me
Spirit raging on
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one
You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
You will release your life
Forgetting what's forsaken
You breathe, alive
You are alone again
You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
Nothing I can do
Forgetting what's forsaken the reason why
You are alone again
You will believe the lie
Judging from what you've taken
You breathe, alive
You are alone again
From the heart of darkness
You call to me
Spirit racing on
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one
You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
You will begin to cry
Hearing the silence breaking
You breathe, alive
But you are alone again
From the heart of darkness
You call to me
Spirit raging on
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one
You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
You will release your life
Forgetting what's forsaken
You breathe, alive
You are alone again
You will release your life
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
Nothing I can do

God:
"From the heart of darkness
- Darkness is a common analogy to depression, grief, or trying times.
You call to me
-In many circumstances such as in grieving or a hopeless situation even the non-religious people will call out to God.
Spirit raging on
- Raging can be used to describe several powerful emotions going on at one time. Anger, grief, confusion, hatred, etc.
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one"
-Sometimes divine intervention can help. There are some things that only you can do.
Satan:
You will release your life
- Suicide is brought on for the most part by hard times in people's lives. In many religions and philosophies suicide is taboo. Suicide results in one's soul going to Hell.
- This is an option being presented, presumably by Satan as a solution to the problem being faced,
Joining with the god damned world
Of the dead and the lonely
-Hell is often seen as a place as the dead go, however people who are socially isolated for any reason may be in their own hell as well.
You'll never leave alive
- Once you go down this path there is no returning.
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind
- An "are you sure" question is being asked. This refers back to "You will release your life". It asks if you are ready to be counted among murderers and other vile souls. It also makes them question do they want to be counted among those kind of people.
This song can almost seem to be about a girlfriend / mistress / wife that is trying to change him and/or control him. The name bound probably stands for him being bound to her,"think your a little bit closer to changing me" shows it right there, and like he says "you wasting time-Leave me be"
Joining with the goddamn world(Go to hell.)
Of the dead and the lonely(With the others like you)
You’ll never leave alive(Just give in and die)
Now do you think you’re too damn good
For the killing kind"(You think you can't take a life?)
That's basically everything.
"Draiman examines the flip side of belief on "Breathe," an itchy prog-metal experiment with a fist-pumping chorus that recalls Priest at their glammiest. There’s a fine line between belief and self-righteousness, the song warns, and you’ll end up alone if you cross it."

Isn't that the truth...
Think about it..."You will release your life, joining with the God-damned world of the dead and the lonely...You'll never leave alive; now do ya think you're too damn good for the killing kind"
