Is this song really heavy metal as it says? I think it's alternative metal.24.16.126.40 (talk) 04:58, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


I don't get it. If the song is a conversation with God, is it for or against Him?--Martin925 04:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I believe it is against God.

I thought it was the singer portraying god and his cruelty through the song.

It's a "modern day depiction of the biblical story of Job," as explained by the lead singer in the extended version of the music video for the song. Here's a link for a source: Disturbed Prayer (extended version). This should be something worth adding to the page. It would be more insightful than just saying the members go through traumatic experiences. Xe7al 05:38, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lyrics

Can somebody please stop reversing my changes to the damn lyrics? Listen to the freakin' song, its "Burn Me A Light Inside" not "Burn Me Alive Inside". Meh. Talk User:Fissionfox 13:08, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, whoever deleted the lyrics :D. I didn't read the rules on lyrics on Wikipedia :( Talk User:Fissionfox 12:30, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Just to clarify, it is in fact "Burn me alive, inside"... First of all, that is a lot more logical than "Burn me a light inside". Second, that is what it says in the CD booklet (I know they are not always correct but they get the phrases right). Lastly, when I listen to the song, that is what I hear... when you have a certain phrase in your mind, that is what you will hear. Dan 00:34, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Prayer -0 30-.ogg

Image:Prayer -0 30-.ogg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
