I'm pretty sure this is an ancestor of Kate (or the narrator of the whole 9th Wave song suite thing) being tried for witchcraft. The helicopter noise and "get out of the waves, get out of the water!" kind of suggest that she's having some sort of past life flashback after falling in the ice at the end of "Under Ice". Even before I had any idea what was supposed to be going on, this track gave me chills on first listen; all those layers of vocals and weirdly chopped up spoken fragments are incredibly disorienting.
