Lyric discussion by BenjaminC 

I believe 'sun' should be 'son' in the line "Will blow away with this new sun", the reason is because he is singing about how he was heavy with guilt and he came to Christ to have it lifted from him. This is confirmed by the lyrics "I'll kneel down" and "bow my head" later on in the song.

The whole song is clearly about salvation and the more I listen to it the clearer it becomes. This isn't the only song about salvation by mumford and sons in my opinion.

To me, this is obviously about a time of surrender to God.

So take my flesh And fix my eyes - biblical references

I'll kneel down - to kneel is to surrender

And to raise your hands is also a sign of surrender and realisation of who you are before God.

Totally agree with the both of you. I am glad I am not the only one who sees such truths in Mumfords songs. This song is plainly about salvation.

It's definitely 'sun'. The official lyrics came with Babel.
