The song on its own doesnt mean much, its only the beginning of a much larger story. The entire album tells the story of a man leaving his former life to join some sort of cult, which seem like the answer to all his problems. (This song is pretty much the part where he leavis his friends, and puts it all aside for a higher purpose) Later in the album he realises that it was only a way for the powerful to manipulate the weak, and a few songs in there are very anti-religius.
