great song obviously political, some references to war and global warming, i think this part: And it’s a march to extinction with your god in step Puts his name in your mouth, puts his cross on your neck It’s a farm boy sprinting over desert dirt And he's panting the 'our father' in staccado spurts It’s his automatic rifle and it tells no lies That's his truth in your stomach, it's no alibi But the trouble lies on the other side With an equal truth prepping for his holy night Sees the crescent and the star blink in the virgin sky And hears the call of milk and honey from the afterlife And as he eases to the checkpoint he is calm and sure It's collateral damage, it’s the cost of war It's another bag of bones for the gods to sort It's just another bag of bones for the gods to sort

is about young boys who are suicide bombers and how they are promised better lives in heaven, and the god referenced is to Allah
