Every one's so eager to jump onto the political band wagon(too often obvious in todays media) and assume it is about Bush, no thanks to the fan made video. I think it is much simpler than that this album seems to be about living in this modern world, I think this song is about losing faith in Religion and blaming it with the state of the world.Or an atheists view of religion. Not to far off one might think look at Ayn Rands conception of the "mystic of the spirit".The Character in the song seems to be frustrated with organized religion specifically Christianity and struggling with faith. I don't believe it is specifically political or a condemnation of Christianity not only because of what i have already stated but also because the rest of the album seemingly discusses a struggling with one's faith in an insane, highly political, and hell bent world where mystics of the spirit are the spark that is igniting the powder keg of our world.
