Lyric discussion by entropy125 

I think the song meaning has 2 sides, 1 about the civil war. The other is a more general message about: "If you don't step up for your ideal's and fight the wrongs in the world you will just pass away and the wrongs will move on to the next generation without change" So it's about finding the courage to change the world around you to make a beter future

@entropy125 Definitely the true meaning of the song is how our apathy allows the "wrongs" in the world happen evetually coming back to us and our descendents.
