This song has strange lyrics, especially for a Priest song. I think it has something to do with the Berlin Wall as well. It's probably about someone trying to escape communist East Germany and migrate to West Germany, but the walls up and he's fighting for his life to get past it. 'Hooks to my brain are well in' = the hooks of communism? Ideologically and physically, he's trying to escape the snares of the system he's been living in.
Either the guy is fighting some people to get out or there's a riot happening, or maybe his mind is trying to escape his communist prison. That's my interpretation anyways.
P.S. The Berlin Wall was put up in 1961 thus making the fact that Priest was from the 70s utterly irrelevant.
