this song sparked my interest enough to join this site...
anyway, i agree with alot of your comments, but most of all i agree with GromReaper because i have a tendency to overanalyze everything, especially songs i like...so this is what i think of this song:
the vocal effects are wonderful
-this song definetely has a biblical reference underlying the lyrics but i agree that it is applicable to almost any situation you can make sense of
i personally think the "madman" and the "wise man" are the same person, and each represents the best and worst of both worlds; these two are our consciouses (sorry for my lack of proper spelling)
the madman and wise men especially want to be heard by the children becasue they are our future and they need to be instructed so the world doesn't turn into one of self-destruction and doom:
children of the land/Love is still the answer, take my hand
The vision fades/a voice I hear/Listen to the Madman!/But still I fear and still I dare not/Laugh at the Madman.
...but kids are too afraid to take a stand so they have to "laugh at the madman" because they dont want to believe his warnings
-the song speaks of our future as a society and generation...which is ironic because it was written years and years ago
-this song is miraculous
