Having just read William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies I find the lyrics of this song very similar to the book's plot. There's a chapter in Lord of the Flies called "Fire On the Mountain", also the reference of traditions reminds me of the boys clinging to their old life, and the lines "meding babylon" and "trying to right the wrong", to me, really make me think of the boys in Lord of the Flies and how hard they tried to create a Utopia and show that kids could create a successful society.

I don't know. Just my two cents. :)
