We're standing here by the abyss and the world is in flames
Two star-crossed lovers reaching out to the beast with many names
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be
He is
Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater
He is
We're hiding here inside a dream and all our doubts are now destroyed
The guidance of the morning stars will lead the way into the void
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be
He is
Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater
He is
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
The disobedience that holds us together
He is
Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater
And we are falling over the precipice
Two star-crossed lovers reaching out to the beast with many names
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be
He is
Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater
He is
We're hiding here inside a dream and all our doubts are now destroyed
The guidance of the morning stars will lead the way into the void
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be
He is
Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater
He is
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
The disobedience that holds us together
He is
Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater
And we are falling over the precipice

This is a great track ... something you could imagine being on commercial radio with the catchy nature and clean vocals. I really enjoy their music, even if I don't really relate to their lyrical content (is it all part of their "act"?)
I am going out on a limb and going to assume that "He" is the Devil / Satan and in essence this song talks about the "saviour" that He is ... quite ironic considering that the saviour is generally seen as Jesus.
@sokorny Yes, it's part of the act. Catch them live if you can - they put on a killer show. The whole band concept is developed around them being sort of a polar opposite of Catholicism but the band members themselves have said its tongue-in-cheek and shouldn't be taken as true satanism. <br />
