just to be clear, are you refering to the song by staple?
In my heart's sequestered chambers
Lie truths stripped of poet's gloss...

Lyrics:
Charge the gates, ye proud and strong – are we not invincible?
These are the lives we own, we rule and rule alone
Is this the night we asked for? We’re all the things that we swore
That we would never be…basking in our apathy.

Institution revolution. Raze this ground, fight for your life (with vengeance tonight)
Taken by forceful intrusion, we will live before we die.

Is now not the time to raise our fists in defiance
Of this night that steals our dreams of all that we once hoped that we'd achieve?
Fight with fists afire and watch this city burn down.
Tonight we show the day the light our passion can create.


that the song if so then this is from Jesusfreakhideout.com and what Staple has to say about it

'This song is about the courage to have victory and over-come adversities in life.' - Staple

there ya go hope i helped and put in that perspective i don't find it anti-christian *doesn't agnolge that he is a really big staple fan*

hmm weird thats a first but then again staples first album was a little interesting (see song rise of the robots)the school probably doesn't like it cuz A in the case of some christian schools its to hard and they just need a excuse to say that without saying well that or the more likely B the songs deals alot with revolution and vengence type stuff so they might have thought it was a proviolence song

Um.....MJL`s mom was the one who decided if it would be accepted or not since she runs it and from what I know, she actually LIKED the song until she saw the lyrics.

Yeah If you go to Staples website they have the reason/meaning behind the songs that they wrote on a page...I don't know if it's still there though, seeing that I haven't visited the sight in a few months.

I am convinced that many men who preach the gospel and love the Lord are really misunderstood. People make a “profession,â€
