This kind of reminds me of people being killed in the Middle East because of stupid fights about what's theirs. There's a lot of "thou's" not usually in the lyrics, which is kind of like in the bible or holy books. There is a lot of arable land there, like near the fertile crescent, where all monotheism's scriptures and Jerusalem comes from. It's also about death and the "beauty disturbed" when good people die. There's many religious references though. Hymn, "atrocious roots" (killing for religion), and the avoidance of death by religions by avoiding sins, but "death's obligatory" and it's reality. Fear is something of religion, maybe the religions want to find their ancestral place.
