Pilot Lyrics
One by one they disappeared
The minds of science, the nation's leaders
To meet again at destination
Sweating in their seats, anticipation
On the salt flats of Nevada
All those who mattered waited for the word
Oh oh Pilot, woah oh pilot
This paradise is lost forever
Oh oh Pilot, woah oh Pilot
We place our trust in the flyer
To deliver us from the fire
We have made
Through the porthole panic stricken
Humanity had been forsaken
The door secured, the cry was distant
But the scratching fingers grew persistent
On the salt flats of Nevada
All those who mattered waited for the word
Oh oh Pilot, woah oh pilot
This paradise is lost forever
Oh oh Pilot, woah oh Pilot
We place our trust in the flyer
To deliver us from the fire
We have made
Pilot, woah oh pilot
We place our trust in the flyer
To deliver us from the fire
We have made
The minds of science, the nation's leaders
To meet again at destination
Sweating in their seats, anticipation
All those who mattered waited for the word
Oh oh Pilot, woah oh pilot
This paradise is lost forever
Oh oh Pilot, woah oh Pilot
We place our trust in the flyer
To deliver us from the fire
We have made
Humanity had been forsaken
The door secured, the cry was distant
But the scratching fingers grew persistent
All those who mattered waited for the word
Oh oh Pilot, woah oh pilot
This paradise is lost forever
Oh oh Pilot, woah oh Pilot
We place our trust in the flyer
To deliver us from the fire
We have made
We place our trust in the flyer
To deliver us from the fire
We have made

The salt flats of Nevada is where Area 51 (the secretive military base) is located. It was also called “Paradise Ranch” to entice workers to the desolate location.
Jesus is the pilot and the flyer.

Ian Thamas on Behind the Vinyl explains that the song is about big business ruining the planet. How prophetic...

Sounds like he's talking about the atomic bomb and we how left the previous age behind and how we are now able to actually destroy the world. The pilot is the flyer Enola gay bomber which dropped the bomb and I though what was meant by the fire.
