KrillXIII, my god you took that way to literally and should be slapped. Learn what a damn metaphor is and THEN decide what song meanings are.
Emperor = Prince of this World
Prince of this World = Satan
"For too long cast aside, stripped of dignity, opportunity
Countless sleepless days in underestimation" = Where he left us
"No word goes unheard
And no deed is without compensation
When the workers come to collect their wages" = That he will recive what he deserves, in time
"Now the straw men are swaying in the distance
The have-nots calling in the listless wind
Whispering for retribution
Waiting for some voice to call them
From the bottom where you left them" = People looking for a Hero, but are yet to kno them. "Straw Men," they have hard exteriors yet hollow interiors. Being that Satan is a "truthless hero," he left them with a false hope and they need to have a real Hero, god.
So onward friends from our battered homes
Forward to the onrush of cast stones, crushed bones
And the gallows = Schwab's "call to action", an Anarchy againt the king. They go from their desolated lands, across their broken dreams and to the Gallows...
Gallows = A place to Hang someone, like the emperor
This is obviously a prelude to Solace
