| alright, really lets use our heads a little. "skin like winter" this represents the cold, the color white, and lonliness" and for skin to be like winter makes me think that they are talking about a body of a friend. they goon further to day "congregation make your way to the front close your eyes and grieve you played the part so well" so i think its about a child's funeral. he either wasnt excepted by the church or by his family. and the entire ASHES TO ASHES DUST TO DUST where do they say this? at FUNERALS! exchange your blessings, for deceptions good night kiss. im pretty sure zao talks about the parents of the "fallen child" whos funeral is attended. might be wrong though. no proof, just my interpretation. | |

| okay, so the real question is: is it better on "save yourself..." or the TFU/ZAO split? | |

| maybe where it says"you played your part so well" talks about like someone who goes to church just to go and not going for the right reason, maybe like a pastor who really wasn't walking with the Lord or something like on FRIDAY the movie. but i don't know maybe im wrong, sometimes i think some people at my church do that. | |

| This is pretty cool song. I think it is about the secret life of a church member who "exchanged his blessings, for deceptions good night kiss." possibly about the murder of a friend or family member. | |

| hey that's the best I could find. I made a few corections (couldn't find punctuation) but it's still a hard one to get... If you find correct lyrics, mail me and I'll fix it... | |
