It seems it has been a while nobody comes here, but I love this song, and something that nobody mentioned here is that the beginning of the song is probably an allusion to a volcano eruption. Some of the most well preserved remains of ancient civilizations that we have today are due to them being buried by volcanos (viz. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompeii). And ironically the same volcanos that preserved these remains for us to see today are also often responsible for the end of those civilizations as they were known. Hence "Five day forecast bring black tar rains and hellfire". And maybe all we'll be reminded for are Macintoshes that "shall be carbonized".
