I don't think this song has much to do with wales. I don't know for sure. Well, anyway blind guardian is not a simple band and so the song is not that simple. The main message of this song is anit-nuclear war. Fom the beginning you can see the pattern of verses: They all knew what it meant
But they couldn't change it
Lord they had gone too far
It means here that humans knew the results of the war, but they could't really change it becasue of the crisis. Therefore they gone too far by destructing the Earth.
It's all gone
What is left behind
On a desert we called earth
These lines mean that earth is destructed and there just desert left, that we used to call Earth.
The whale here reffers to last object alive. Since the life was only left at sea. Of course few things suspecious here, but i think that theater of pain is reffers to as the war bunker and children will love the singing because the humans will be gone and the lives forms will remain by itself wihout interference of humans. Pherhaps I made mistake somewere, but it is a good try. If someone has better ideas please reply. Thanks.
