Good point Max. But from what i got out of it, it was talking about the former USSR. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd verses explain about how life was like. Basicaly, they set out rules and limits citizens were forced to enjoy/except them. The \'temples of syrinx\' would be an illusion to a new world order, communism, but they were talking about the Soviet Union. But what really gives you the clue that they are talking about the Soviet Union is when they say the line \'hold the red star proudly high in hand\'. One of thier symbols was a red star.
