This song reminds me of Oedipus Rex; a prophet tells King Oedipus that he is the reason his people are suffering, and Oedipus accuses him of being a liar. A series event make it clear to Oedipus that the prophesies and in shameful repent the king guages his eyes out, blinding himself. After he's done that, however, he becomes a prophet himself. "I can see much clearer now I'm blind."
I'm pretty sure Petrucci was a Greek mythology nut too.
