I'd say that "Karn Evil 9" was ELP's glimpse of the FUTURE. "Come and see, the shows about to start... guaranteed to blow your head apart!". And if the show began way back in 1973... it's well underway now, isn't it? Yes, "our" world is ALL about SHOW now. People gather around their big flat-screened TVs, and in movie theatres to be ENTERTAINED by the SPECIAL EFFECTS that BLUR the lines between FICTION and REALITY. The media is part of it too. They spend a good deal of their time focusing on TV SHOWS, MOVIES and the lives of CELEBRITIES... and in turn, the entertainment industry determines what's important to the media. It's a FRIGGIN CIRCUS SHOW. It's an ALL-OUT ATTACK on TRUTH. "They" (the non-christians behind it all) are SUBTLY (there's the serpent again) introducing new social values to REPLACE the Christian ones our forefathers knew where writ in stone! "They" attack the TRADITIONAL concepts of FAMILY, MARRIAGE, THE CHURCH... in short, ANYTHING THAT'S SACRED is being VISCIOUSLY ATTACKED and TORN DOWN for the purposes of ENTERTAINMENT! I've heard Star Wars was written just to get people in the West introduced to Buddhist philosophy... and it worked because now people talk about characters like "Yoda" as if they were REAL! The "force" as if it were real!
The GOOD NEWS (i.e. the GOSPEL) is that the BIBLE (the TRUTH) clearly predicted that all this would happen! This is the serpent's last gasp. He WILL be crushed and the CHRISTIANS WILL WIN.
So get yourself a Bible, put your faith in JESUS CHRIST... and prepare to be attacked by the anti-christ forces on ALL SIDES. You WILL emerge victorious. It's THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH! Do I sound crazy? Good. So did John the Baptist. I'd sure hate to sound "normal" in this screwed-up world!
I wonder if RayMan knows that Greg Lake, the lyricist (and bassist), is a cynic and a devout atheist. He hates religion. This is a matter of record. But, don't take my word for it; listen to what he sings.

I'm sorry, but it's hard to take someone who capitalizes words that frequently seriously. To each his own, though.
