"Implicit Demand For Proof" lyrics

"Implicit Demand For Proof"

I know you're not a liar
And I know you could set fire
This day
Go ahead and make me look away
Strike me down
I am calling your lightning
Down from your dark hiding place
Go ahead and show me
Your face

Reign down
And destroy me
Reign down
And destroy me
Reign down

I mean no disrespect
I am simply very perplexed by your ways
Why wouldn't you let us use your name?

Reign down
And destroy me
Reign down
And destroy me
Reign down
And destroy me
Reign down
And destroy me

Reign

Down

Reign

Down

Down

The first song on their first album. It tells about the doubts of the protagonist, especially in his religious belief. He wants a proof of God's existence.
Despite the name of the song, the narrator asks God to show His face, which is, actually, an explicit demand rather than implicit.
The line "reign down" can also be read as "rain down" since gods usually send something from above, e.g. bad weather of fire rains, and, at the same time, they reign as kings.
