I'm just straight down with this being a song about Exodus; straight up Torah old testament. "Form a line to the throne" can be interpreted as when the Egyptians threw the newborn boys into the Nile, or when Moses and Aaron went and talked to Pharaoh. There's no mistaking the Pharaoh part. I like the song as one about Moses.
"Great Unknown" is Mount Sinai and the Torah. The Pawn is the Jews, The Queen is the Egyptians. Moses is the hero for hire, but I do agree that the song references that the Hero Journey's always the same. "Blood from bone" the Lamb blood on the door-post before the Tenth Plague, whereafter the Jews ate the lambbone.
