Hmm, my guess is this song is about the how empires come and go and how each one has left a scar on the face of the earth and mankind in their efforts to maintain their power. Every empire throughout history has foolishly believed that they are somehow different from the preceding empire and the certitude of their "difference" shared amongst its leaders meant[to them] that they'll last forever. Thats my interpretation.
