Ilikemetal: You are truely a moron. At least you are overt about it so we all know to just ignore you. Christian are no less close minded than anyone else and, for the most part, certainly less close minded than you.
As for this songs meaning: I think it probably was meant to be about Iraq. The whole album seems to be abou it in one way or another... I think most of the songs have a bit of double meaning though. I'm not sure if this one does.
On a sort of related note: I don't think too much of LOG's music is meant to convey a positive spiritual message. Here is a good metric for those of you thinking it might convey a Christian message. In any band's music if the songs contain one of these words then chances are the band is not made up of Christians: fuck, shit, cunt, goddamn. Now go back and read LOG's lyrics... Oh, some of those words appear in the lyrics... Now, research their old band name... Burn the Priest. How nice! Well, they sound like a Christian band to me!
That having been said, any band be it LOG or Marilyn Manson CAN in one or two songs convey a message that is approximately Christian. Most people aren't going to totally be against everything Christians stand for. Case in point the song Head Like a Hole by NiN. They aren't exactly a Christian band but the song just as well could be. Maybe the same thing w/ Omerta by LOG. Maybe Creeping Death by Metallica could be in that list too.
