"Children of the Sea - there has been a lot of speculation that it is about Atlantis, but Dio has only spoke of it as a song about "ecological awareness".
So working off this basic direction, the song seems to be a commentary about mankind doing things before it truly understands the consequences of its action, ie. the reference to sailing across the air, before learning to fly, and thinking that this kind of thing would go on forever without a price to eventually pay for messing with the balance.
And finally, though we try to escape the world and darkening the sky by the millions, like locusts, we are caught in the maelstrom of the final convulsions of the Earth dying along with the Sun.
