this song is an amazing conclusion to an amazing album. it is most definitely a conclusion to a story that was told over the whole album. the basic idea was that there was a horrible rein of tyranous reptiles that destroyed everything. they were amoral and had no respect for the world that God made them. this song is the end of the world. when "the age will pass away" it means that the rein of reptiles (now known to be a metaphor for humans) is over and begets the age of insects (beginning with "i walk the world...(it is a hidden track, showbread said so themselves)) it talks about the moment before jesus returns to heaven with all the righteous and allows earth to become hell. how the character (the point of view of this song) is hiding from jesus because he is ashamed of his sin. jesus finds him anyway and the scales fall out of his eyes. ( a reference to the bible passage where a man was blinded by God by having scales put over his eyes. when he repented for his evil works the scales fell out of his eyes and he saw the truth this man went on to follow jesus.
