Inspiration
The band's imagery draws heavily from Christianity, with "ministry" in their name, the albums The Second Great Awakening, and Their Rock Is Not Our Rock, a reference to Deuteronomy 32:31. MTV.com described the band's music as having "a musical chemistry between the members... that makes their songs buzz with warmth".
The song "The Broken" contains references to Robert E Howard's Conan the Barbarian series. Specifically the short story Tower of the Elephant Which takes place in the nation of Zamora; home to an evil sorcerer named Yara.
From the song
"Four winds calling to Zamora. Four winds of defeat. For winds to the ghost of Yara. For winds of deceit"

Famous quotes containing the word inspiration:
“Free labor has the inspiration of hope; pure slavery has no hope.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Poets should be lawgivers; that is, the boldest lyric inspiration should not chide and insult, but should announce and lead, the civil code, and the day’s work. But now the two things seem irreconcilably parted.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Although this garrulity of advising is born with us, I confess that life is rather a subject of wonder, than of didactics. So much fate, so much irresistible dictation from temperament and unknown inspiration enter into it, that we doubt we can say anything out of our own experience whereby to help each other.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
