I hear a lot of war references in this song, a child growing up in the midst of war. I keep thinking WWII, I get a picture of Nazis persecuting the Jews. The shiny blades of pagan angels were the war planes of the enemy. I see references to Hitler as the father, the King, and the lady descending the mountain to steal socks (take the basic necessities) and "singing something good where all the horses fell" by using propaganda to make all the terrible things going on seem like something good. He is also in the end the pagan angel, who with his gun will show love to his people by destroying religion and the Jews.
That's just what I feel, but I agree the music is great and the song has a great beat to it. This whole album is full of great songs.
