Urizen is one of 4 Zoa's created by William Blake. In particular Urizen represented reason and order of primodial man.
The song seems to speculate that cold machine logic is destructive, as everything associated with urizen are damned, buring, seperated, arisen from a evil act or trapped without a means to rise again (the ladder falls away). I'm surprised i'm the first to comment on it....then again, as his 2001 tour shirt so eloquently asks "Who the f@ck is Bruce Dickinson"
