As you scream into the web of silence...
It’s a hard one to explain, but I’ll do my best (from my perspective).I don't understand this part (english is not my first language). Why is it so special ?
Within the context of the album, the first line refers to how people trusted religion over the very real prophecies of the Seventh Son. In the real world, it can refer to how religion can often make you live under a rock (in America, the religious right are the ones most against the idea of climate change, gay marriage, etc).
The second line I think has a bit more to do with some of the shit that had been happening in the Church. The ‘80s was the decade of the Satanic panics, but a much bigger threat was hiding in the form of pedophilic priests in the Catholic Church. The two lines are a stab at, not religion, but the religious, and how they will often throw in their own beliefs to justify being assholes.
That’s kinda what I get from the lines, but other people might have different explanations.
