The closing song to the 2007 Anberlin album, Cities.
The song is about 4 stories, all comming together in the end.
The first story is about the youth of Stephan Christian (the lead singer of Anberlin) when he was 8 years old. He didn’t want to deal with God and The Devil, so he asked them to leave him alone.
The second story is about his teenage time, where a miracle was promissed by the Church, but nothing happened, so Stephan began to lose his faith.
The third story is about a traveling “healer”, who said he was sended by God, but Stephan didn’t believe him.
The 4th and last story is about Stephan himself, about his fight with God, and how He put him through Stephans own hell, to show him that he really exists, and after all the bad stuff some good stuff will happen.

I guess I'm kind of alone in not really liking this song. I would, but I think I would like it a lot more if it was cut off when the kids start singing. I just think choirs of children are effing creepy. And completely unneccessary.
