Exile is in many ways more like a concept album than a simple collection of songs although Gary prefers to think of it as a horror story set to music.
Lyrically it is based around a simple but frightening idea. That God and the Devil are one and the same creature, and that Heaven and Hell are one and the same place, and it is only the perception of those that find themselves there that makes it one or the other. One mans Hell can be another mans Heaven. Gary himself does not believe in God at all and so this album is not the work of a man trying to turn people away from whatever faith they may posess. What it does suggest though, is that our interpretation of the Bible may be terrifyingly mistaken.
As Gary hilmself has said many times while talking about this album, 'If somebody could walk up to me now and convince me that I was wrong, and that God does exist, I would tend to believe that the 'Exile' idea is nearer to the truth than anything I've ever heard from the pulpit. To find out that God was real would be the most frightening thing that I could possibly
imagine'..
