The song sounds like it's about religion in general. Jaz Coleman as far as I'm aware isn't quite your average religious guy, didn't he go off to Iceland at one point to hide from the Apocalypse? I think he's talking about religion in general and how we make up lies to fool ourselves and other people into believing that there is a place we can go after living here on Earth. But there isn't, there just us, we die, and life goes on without us.
Maybe that's why it's called "The Death and Resurrection Show"? Because it's all just a show for humanity? To trick them into believeing this?
"Who will you turn to?" Which religion will you pick? From Eygptians to the Christians, they all say the same stuff in his eyes. Resurection and an afterlife etc
Maybe that's why Ezekiel's chariot's is pluralised, from what I've looked up, Ezekiel's chariot is the name given to thhe throne of God whcih Ezekiel saw in two visions, but pluralising it makes it less about one God and more about the many that we believe in, or choose to create.
The same with the tribal religion at the beginning, the old beliefs that we would come back as a new person or animal.
But he believes we don't. "Everything I've learned, the fire shall burn" at the end, when you die, that's it. There is simply no more you.
Although I can't quite figure out what he means by "the lights go out" whether it's about dying or the end of the world proper, as in the Apocalypse.
Well, they're my thoughts. Correct me if I'm wrong hehe
