it talks about the main thing in the bible jesus' death not calling the bible lies but talking about the birth and death of jesus but there not a christian band
Read the lyrics for the song "What good is my virtue" which is the last track on like the bonus edition of Holding a Wolf by the Ears. He is talking about how their is no God :(
By "extensive book collection" he doesn't mean the Bible. Not sure how anyone gather that notion. He's talking about a collection of books that give him a base of contradiction against the comforts of the Bible (including in his eyes salvation, ultimately). History, science, biographies (of a depressing nature I would guess) I can't really say, searching the song didn't help me find context anyways.
The way I see the song is that he feels the world is far too corrupt for any biblical truth..
they r not a christian band but the song isnt calling the bible lies mary wood be a virgin that meens he would have never known that jesus wich meens the problably im not sure this song is based on the singer or somone alse that they know got saved :)
yeah .. Im a catholic and all ... luv christ and all the saints and all that good shit .. but I can pretty much say with most certainly that Mary was not a virgin .. she just said that cuz Joseph wasnt the father .. its simple ... but noone ever says it!??!!!
OKAY. Since so many of you are TERRIBLE at inturprating (def spelled incorrectly) poetics, let me clue you in. If you think this song is supporting christianity in any way, you can pretty much go shoot urself cuz your retarded. Yes, "Extensive Book Collection = Bible. He is saying if he hadn't found the bible, he would never know about god or any of its tales because it doesn't exist. Analogy: You wouldnt have to read a book about the sky to know its there.
@GrizzlyBearKiss In a nut shell he is saying that the culture has beaten the belifs into his head and had he not been slapped in the face with bibles his whole life he would probably never have had any experiences that would personally convince him there is a god.
I think the meaning of this song is more like "Ignorance is bliss". Meaning he would rather dwell in the religious beliefs of the past than the scientific facts we know today.
@DanteRedgrave89 I can see where your coming from there, I personally think your utterly wrong, but I can deff see how the lyrics could possibly be decyphered that way. In any case, who cares, its a neat song
As far as I remember, From Autumn to Ashes is a christian band, much like As I Lay Dying and The Devil Wears Prada. So references to Christianity wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Take her to the music store is another way of saying "F*ck someone in the ass"
If you read what this video said, he said if not for this book I would still be sleeping soundly, the world would still be flat and mary would be a virgin.
@JeremyFultineer Note I said "as far as I remember", meaning I think so but I'm not sure. And christian bands can have some pretty f*cked up themes in their songs.
@JeremyFultineer What I got out of the chorus (If it were not for this extensive book collection I would know not what I've found. This world would still be flat, Mary would be a virgin and I would still be sleeping sound) was that "the extensive book collection" is the bible and if he didn't find the Bible, his soul would still be "sleeping" and wouldn't be shown the light of God, and would still be following false beliefs hence the part were it says the "world would still be flat".
@Renniks57 i agree but what about the it saying and "i would still be sleeping sound" that usually means getting good sleep and at the end it says faith in god (laughs) lies. what does that part mean. this song like supports and bashes the bible its weird.
@socksuntied Yeah when he says hed still be sleeping sound, that usually does mean getting good sleep, but I think he means it as though he was dead before christianity, and his soul was sleeping in the dark, sleeping sound, nothing was waking him until he found god. just my opinion soo idk
@JeremyFultineer uh dude i saw a live vid posted he said it was about his friend getting jipped at some dudes music store so its about getting jipped or something
Pretty sure the bible is 1 book. Sooo unless he has a shitload of bibles, that lines probably about something else.

I thought he says "extensive blood collection" speaking on all the blood shed over religion throughout the years. Although I could be wrong too.

... and perhaps in that perspective, the Bible is just another set of lies to distort a reality of corruption. Betrayal upon betrayals I suppose.
