Interpretation: The song addresses how certain cultures and countries (particularly those such as America) try to assume the role of freedom fighters. It addresses the irony they fail to notice in how they're mercilessly waging war in the name of peace, and how they try to make the world a better place by constantly fighting, but only end up being the "fuel to the fire". The question "And when all is over and we return to dust, who will be my judge, and which one do I trust?" could be asking "When all the fighting is over and we have lost so many that we're close to extinction, who am I to follow and trust? And with our purpose scattered amongst the aftermath of war, who will I have to look up to once you're gone?"
