"And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"
I've always liked this song but never knew the words very well, much less understood what was going on in the video, so I looked up the lyrics and the song's nothing like I thought it was about.
"Toad The Wet Sprocket
"Fly From Heaven"
Paul is making me nervous
Paul is making me scared
Walk into this room and swaggers
Like he's God's own messenger
Change the name of my brother
Change the things that he said
Says that he speaks to him
But he never even knew the man
But I'd give my life for him
Like water through my hands
You'd give him any ending
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from heaven
To this world again
To this world again
Take whatever you're needing
Take whatever you can
We are broken from within
Run to another land
Like water through my hands
Or is it just beginning
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from heaven
To this world again
To this world again
They took my brother
They ripped him from me
To twist his words as they did his body
Denied his family
Denied his beauty
To lay him down at the feet
Of those he couldn't save
Couldn't save, couldn't save
Will it be the end
Or is he still ascending
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from heaven
To this world again, to this world again "
The song is about James, the brother of Jesus' concerns over Paul the apostle, who called him Christ rather than his real name (Yahshuah), as well as changed some of the things messiah said. Paul, as atributed to James in the song never met Jesus, he did however meet some of Jesus friends, and helped kill some of them, he held the men's cloaks while they killed the apostle Stephen, for example. That being said, this song presumes that James didn't realise Jesus divinity before he James died, hence James wondering "if he's all you say, would he fly from heaven to this world again?". By the way, James died after being thrown, by the priests and the temple guards, down the stairs of the temple in Jerusalem for preaching Jesus message, breaking his legs. Flavius Josephus, in his works, attributes the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem to this single act, the killing of Jesus brother. The temple and city were spared destruction at messiah's murder, but not his brothers.

I am constantly being told to be quiet.
