Explained simply
PRESIDENT are a band preparing to release their debut album, Blood of Your Empire. Their songs draw on themes of faith, power and conflict, and the group has said this song examines how religious belief can be used to justify division or violence without making faith itself its target.
Religion has shaped societies and political movements for centuries, and people interpret and practise it in many different ways. The distinction between criticising the use of religion by those in power and criticising believers or faith itself is central to understanding the song’s subject.
