Lyric discussion by stickSMbugg 

Notice how he says:

"But if all that's left is duty I'm falling on my sword At least then I would not serve An unseen, distant Lord"

So, he's not necessairly saying that those "duties" or actions are useless or uninspired, but that if that's ALL that's left, if it all just boils down to duty to a distant unseen lord, then he doesn't want a part of that.

Everybody needs to get close before pretending to be.

This song is inspiring. I discovered it 2 days after I felt really down and far from God. I still want to believe in Him, but I'm losing faith...
