So goddamn easy to write this
You make it spill on the page
So drunk on yourself, self-righteous
A laughing stock of your own fucking stage
Oh but I ain't one to call names
Or throw stones in a house of glass
You try me
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
The only one you could ever need
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
You try me
Just one time you got a reason
Heard you had nothing to lose
A blind preacher for the pin-eyed congregation
It must be easy to lose
Oh but I ain't one to call names
Or throw stones in a house of glass
You try me
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
The only one you could ever need
This a motherfuckin' invitation
You try me
You can tell the same lie a thousand times
But it never gets any more true
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you
Just one time
This is a motherfuckin' imitation
The only one you could ever need
This a motherfuckin' invitation
Just one time
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
Ya' try me
Just one time(ya' try me)
Just one time(ya' try me)
Ya' try me
You make it spill on the page
So drunk on yourself, self-righteous
A laughing stock of your own fucking stage
Oh but I ain't one to call names
Or throw stones in a house of glass
You try me
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
The only one you could ever need
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
You try me
Just one time you got a reason
Heard you had nothing to lose
A blind preacher for the pin-eyed congregation
It must be easy to lose
Oh but I ain't one to call names
Or throw stones in a house of glass
You try me
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
The only one you could ever need
This a motherfuckin' invitation
You try me
You can tell the same lie a thousand times
But it never gets any more true
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you
Just one time
This is a motherfuckin' imitation
The only one you could ever need
This a motherfuckin' invitation
Just one time
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
Ya' try me
Just one time(ya' try me)
Just one time(ya' try me)
Ya' try me

FIRST 4 LINES: the state of humanity
NEXT 3 LINES: Jesus is the Prince of Peace
NEXT 4 LINES: Jesus' death on the cross was an invitation for us to join Him in heaven.
NEXT 4 LINES: Jesus knows we all struggle with our faith at one point or another.
NEXT 8 LINES: Repeated from earlier.
You can tell the same lie a thousand times
But it never gets any more true
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you
Meaning: Jesus doesn't want us to lie to ourselves and not believe in Him. He wants us to have faith, and rejoice with all the angels and saints in heaven.
I always presumed the song was actually about Anselmo due to a few lines in the song "So drunk on yourself, self-rightous" "A laughing stock on your own fucking stage" making reference to Phil during the later stages of Pantera, His disconnection with the rest of the band and the fact he was hated by the band due to his onstage antics in the mid/late 90's.
Also the 3rd verse "You can tell the same lie 1000 times but it never gets anymore true" that whole section to me clearly points at Anselmo for his "Dimebag deserves to be beat severely" quote to the press, then denying saying it to all the fans "So close your eyes once more and once more believe,
That they all still believe in you." That line seems to fit the situation perfectly in my eyes.
All seems to point at Phil Anselmo to me, definitely NOTHING to do with god here haha. Unless obviously the god we are talking about is Phil Anselmo right?

^The video I was referring to.
But Mark Morton said this to Guitar World Magazine in 2009: "It's pretty clear to everyone who the song is about. Just watch the Killadelphia DVD, and you'll see what was going on. I love Randy like a brother, but that doesn't mean we don't have our problems. So if I have to be the one to say something, then I will. And if that means that someone's gonna get punched in the mouth, then someone's gonna get punched in the mouth... And if that means someone's going to have to sing a lyric about themselves, then they're gonna sing a lyric about themselves."
:-)
But the phrase "Or throw stones in a house of glass" reminds me the biblical phrase "who is free from sin, throw the first stone", and i believe this phrase that he thinks he is free from "sin" (be blind of himself) but he could be so he won't start a battle he could lose... Or something like that :P
"Generally, it's not about any one person in particular. It's about people in the music industry whose egos become needlessly inflated and they show it. It's a general song. It's applicable to anyone in their life. If a fan thinks, 'Oh, well, this guy is a prick,' go ahead and take it and make it yours."
