I think this song is about the slow destruction of the world caused by humans.
"Nations cry underneath decaying skies above
You are guilty, the punishment is death for all who live."
Tha, to me, sounds like Ozone depletion on peoples ignorance of the enviornment.
"Haggard wisdom spitting out the bitter taste of hate."
This line seems like it is talking about the negative impact of most technology.
"I accuse before you before you know the crime it's all too late."
And this line seems to say most people are ignorant about what is happening and before its realized (which is happening now) it will be too late to save our planet.
PS: I don't argue with anyone talking about the reference to "Out of the Silent Planet" by CS Lewis or "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. It seems to incorporate a lot.
