Ha, if you've ever read Breaking Dawn isn't this totally the romanian dudes' theme song?!
Anyway. I love this song so much. Not entirely sure what it means. I am pretty sure, however, that the song isn't about religion, it just uses religious references as analogies, kind of like some Evanescence songs. Anyway, I'm not an altogether Coldplay fan-- don't like, don't dislike-- but this song is at the top of my 'most played' list. Love it.
