Outcry Lyrics
Quote from JP himself; “After the intro, the theme kicks in. The way it made me envision flying through the air in slow motion really influenced the lyrics, which are about the uprisings in the Middle East, people fighting against oppression.”
It's funny you say that because it sounds more like it was written about World War I when it says "The war to end all wars". Guess we have to take his word though right?
Look at the complete lyrics, though. It's clear that the uprisings are what he's talking about. Plus, you can hear some of that quasi-Eastern sound that they like to do.

Consider that, when the war directly affects you and your future in a very real and immediate sense, it becomes a lot more important than whatever wars happened ninety years ago, regardless of how big a deal they might have been.

It also helps to look at it from a more first-person, subjective view of one of the people who are part of these uprisings, than from a third-person view.

I love everything about this song, and the first time I heard it, it made me think of all the recent uprisings.
Being a fan of Dream Theater from Iran, I'm really glad that JP takes notice in things that we've been through these past few years, even if it's just an assumption! :D

Love this line: You´ll never rule me now, though you may stand upon my grave! Powerful words!
This song is obviously about how the Canadians don't get any recognition for anything they do, so James LaBrie is sending hidden messages through this song to all the Canadians around the world to revolt against the rest of the countries. It makes sense if you don't think aboot it.
Song about the uprisings in the middle east. Therefore in the instrumental part of the song there are some very arabic sounding parts to it.
