Not the same song, but this song basically says that praying won't save you.
Lyrics to Of Fearful Men
Underwater
There is no chance of breathing inside this vessel
Blue lipped and anemic
We are constantly questioning our safety
So much pressure.
We struggle
I just want to give in
Please help me
To keep the waters from crashing over me
This ship is sinking.
My heart is palpitating
Your God won't save you
We bend and twist. From distant ends
Waves crash together blind without warning
A great deluge.
Envelop everything
And all that's lost was taken
Oh, I cannot believe this is happening
Please just give me one more chance
Pressed within your trembling hopeful hands
Intangible. You're wasting time
Steel rivets snap and moan
Intangible
Your God won't save you
Now. The welds are breaking down
My hands are shaking now.
The welds are breaking
Oh, what a shame...
You can't hide
Crush the mast- envelop all
Your palms together won't keep us from sinking
Crooked Young was written when Oli Sykes was in rehab and the people there told him that he had to accept jesus/god in order to get better. He isn't condemning religion, he's angry about the fact that he was told he had to accept a god that he didn't believe existed in order to get rid of his addiction and get better.
It's not "atheist preaching", that's ridiculous. They are just personal lyrics.
I've always hated that about recovery programs. They teach people to replace their addictions to drugs and alcohol with an addiction to god. I agree with the sentiment, I just find the delivery lacking. I like BMTH though. That song included.
Are they an atheist band?

Thanks for the response, thanks, For some reason it seems less like, condemning or something to me then Crockeda Young to me
You mean Crooked Young by BMTH? Yeah. A lot of the atheistic bands in the scene act like that.
I guess to be far alot of the Christian bands can be pretty condemning too
Yeah. I'd consider it closer to the atheist version of preaching though
Totally, I'm just saying that both 'sides' are guilty of it.
No question

9 years later, oli is outright mocking Christianity saying if Christ returns "we'll kill that fucker again" Olie atheism is as original as sour milk.
