Hebrews 11 happens to be my favorite chapter in the Bible at the moment. It focuses on all the great things that faith has allowed people to do. Faith made the world go around back in those days. To me this song reflects the passage greatly. "It gets dark and then/I am certain I am going to rise again." That right there is the hardest proclomation of faith, but the biggest one all-together, I will rise again after my fleshy body ceases to be. Which brings me to point number two, the lyrics are heavily-laden with self-mutilation clues to proclamate that faith is the only thing you should aspire for, because your fleshy body is just that, decaying and oxidising from day one. "If not by faith then by the sword/I'm going to be restored." By faith is the refrain for not only this song, but also the refrain for the Hebrews 11 passage in the bible. Matthew 26:52 - "for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." If you choose to chose a life filled with bright shiny things, fleshy desires, and violence, you will remain with it for your eternal life. If you choose to live with faith in Jesus Christ, you will be restored to the heaven above with your new body and then come back to a new earth with no violence and no chaos, just peace and love! Sounds pretty awesome!
