I like the imagery that is given throughout the song. First, you have the "hungry". Hungry for not just food, but for spiritual enlightenment. They cry to heaven for answers and blessings, but they settle for a tyrant. The tyrants offer them what they have been looking for, but it is false or corrupted.
The second verse makes me think of the Nazi party and the book burnings. The image of thoughts and words silenced by the flames, the oppressed beyond hope of a hero to save them.
Then the singer challenges the tyrants, proclaiming their eventual fall.
Finally, The gathering of true spiritual leaders, people who will show the way.
