Division Bells

about

It is an adaptation of the concept of division bells to basically represent the oppression some people can suffer for not having a religious belief, or a belief in afterlife. It's also saying half the reason for not having such a belief is that they're such similarities between being good and bad (rapture and hell) so if this apparent time comes where we are meant to ascend or descend to heaven or hell I'd rather be in purgatory anyway.

lyrics

When I was younger
I never had to care
My mind was left to grow and wonder
And I was never scared

This isn’t what I expected
A world that sets you up to fail
Feeling alone and neglected
And in my coffin, another nail

There are parallels
In rapture and hell
And that’s something that I see
I’ll seek purgatory
When the division bell’s
They ring to accuse me
Of believing nothing
(Fighting against the norm)
No faith in who is judging
(Me to conform)

In the second coming
I'll be afraid
When I chased heaven I felt unlike a saint
I will pose the question
Why cause so much pain?
To everyone

Would he sacrifice, his life for mine?

There are parallels
In rapture and hell
And that’s something that I see
I’ll seek purgatory
When the divisions bell’s
They ring to accuse me
Of believing nothing
(Fighting against the norm)
No faith in who is judging
(Me to conform)

You can tiptoe on ground you dont know
Hold your head up high you'll eventually touch the sky

Hold your prayers
You'll survive
Against all odds
You still are living half alive

There are parallels
In rapture and hell
And that’s something that I see
I’ll seek purgatory
When the divisions bell’s
They ring to accuse me
Of believing nothing
(Fighting against the norm)
No faith in who is judging
(Me to conform)
