Not many people said much about this one...huh. This is how I see it:
Okay, I think the first few set of lyrics refers more to Adam and Eve. They took the forbidden fruit, which destroyed everything. So the people say is basically how the story is told by everyone, and in the bible, and how the price we paid was being kicked out of the Garden of Eden.
Down the path of shame and let us dare
To bite the hand that fed us
(I think this is reference to the eating of the forbidden apple, how God 'let them dare' and choose the life they wanted and they chose to eat the apple and bit the that hand that fed them by doing so.)
Fairy tale, the moral end
Wheel of fortune, never turns again
Never turns again
(They had one chance in the garden, but they threw it all away, and that was it. They will never have the chance again. Humans act this way often with things, and it is often the moral end.)
'The worst of it has come and gone…'
(I think these set of lyrics refers to how it's the end of time, and we have fought constantly, and the 'doomsday' is gone now, and everything is over. We have fought our last battle, in whatever way. The lyrics travel from the beginning of time's mistakes to the end of time's mistakes.
Their last retreat is moving slow
They burn their bridges as they go
(They've destroyed so much, there is little refuge to go to anymore. Maybe by burning bridges they're biting the hand that fed them again, and running from all that they should have learned from past actions.)
'Rocked again by indecision' could mean that they were at a lost what to do, so we did what we always automatically do, and fought. We apparently expected that to have solved our indecision, and what we were left with was ash and smoke. Everything destroyed, and nothing solved.
'The wicked king'. I think this is just how the tyrant realizes how we have destroyed everything, and now they are all remorseful and calling a truce with this enemies and saying live and let live, but only until the next time of crisis, and then the tyrant arises again and everything goes back to normal.
I've come tonight
I've come to know
The way we are the way we'll go
(This is simply the narrator referencing to everything she's learned from the history of man.)
I've come to you in restless sleep
Were all your dreams turned bitter sweet
With voodoo doll philosophies
Day gloy holy trinities
(I think she's asking, whoever she's speaking to, if they loss all their hopes and dreams because of the 'philosophies' and mythologies they've heard of)
Follow deep in trance
Lost in a catatonic dance
Know no future
Damn the past
Blind war, ecstatic
To save their lives
(We're just looking out for ourselves again. We're in a blind war, because we never learn, and only go in circles.)
Overall, I think it's the foolishness of men and how we are destroying ourselves by falling the same steps over and over. Great song.
