| I think that the most important part in this song is "Soulmates never die".I believe that it's absolutely true 'cause there's for all of us a person who's our soulmate and who just waits for us to find him/her.And when we find our soulmate, he/she won't never leave us.Just like Amy says in "Even in death". :-) | |

| Oh, and the part about the one world vision turning us into compromise.,, Take, for example, President Bush and his "Coalition of the Willing." Despite the fact that many countries disagreed with his decision, it still holds that many people were rallying under the banner of "Global Democracy." That's our one world vision. It sounds nice, but to accomplish it SO many lives are compromised. Do the means really justify the end? And is the end really desirable. Compromise gone too far eventually just turns into homogeny. | |

| I think its about someone falling in love with an enemy of their government or religion... Possibly caught up in a religious war and meeting someone from the opposite side who you know is the one that you want to spend the rest of your life with... "Turns us in to compromise What good's religion When it's each other we despise Damn the government Damn the killing Damn the lies " is saying how he's been forced to hate and kill people of a certain background due to government propaganda. "cause soulmates never die" Possibly forced to kill his soulmate? | |

| I think Its About The End of the world "The Seas Evaporated though it comes as no suprise" and War Spreading through the world "it seams its written but we cant read the lines" is like Its Obvious this would happen but the worlds to stupid to figure it out And the "Dry your eyes, Soulmate dry your eye" as well as "Soulmates never die" he either conforting himself or his love whom Has Lost Him or else Died themselfs | |
