This band is interesting. Found some mainstream success, they were all over MTV for a while in the mid 2000s. Many thought they were a secular band. They were a self described Christian band. I guess some of the lyrics are subtle enough they can be interpreted different ways. It's definitely confessional style rather than gospel.

Well, why not. As far as I know the only overtly Christian band that was right in the thick of the 80s hair metal era (I'm sure there were others, but they were in their own niche, not mainstream).

I waffled between a straight orchestral version or the ending of 'Excalibur'
Decided on this for the Lady of the Lake visual.

Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

Not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a Spiteful Spear into His Side
Talk to
As if he knows the Reasons Why
He did it all for you
