There's nobody here
There's nobody near
I try not to care
Dead eyes always stare

Let these matters be
(Don't trust what you see)
Take hold of your time
(Step into the line)

There's innocence torn from its maker
Stillborn, the trust in you
This failure has made the creator
So would you tell him what to do?
(Would you?)

Leave your mark upon
The head of someone
Who'll cry for his state
We know it's too late

I turn round to see
(What was meant to be)
Faint movement release
(To rid the disease)

There's innocence torn from its maker
Stillborn, the trust in you
(I have lost all trust I had in you)
This failure has made the creator
So would you tell him what to do?

(I have lost all trust I had in you)

    My Interpretation

    A agree with Spectre7

    I believe it is about religion and always have believed that about this song. The movie The Passion of the Christ comes to mind. How christ's innocence is torn from him and he is beaten and crusified for his own passions. His own people did this. Them not believing in him was their failure.

    There's innocence torn from its maker Stillborn the trust in you This failure has made the creator So would you tell him what to do (would you)

    Is the fact that they stripped him of his innocence by beating him mercilessly and his own people didn't trust him (stillborn trust) This failure has made the creator - he became a martyr for his believes and because of the failure of others to believe in him and his word. Their failure made the creator (a martyr). So would you tell him what to do (would you)...those who questioned him for sacrificing himself or what he believes in, this line is asking...would you tell him what to do?
