i saw this thing on the history channel about the goth wars. back when they were fleeing the huns they asked the romans for asylum. the romans granted it, to an extent, only allowing the strong and healthy ones asylum while the sick, elderly and young were left behind to die. the romans had promised farmland, but when food rations were low they sent the goths out on a meaningless quest, causing their numbers to wane even more. they had intended to use the barbarian tribes to fight for their purpose, but after such a betrayal the goths wouldn't stand for it, and so they rose up and rebelled against rome, sparing no man, woman or child. that was the first goth war.
i can't say for sure that's what the song is about, but whenever i listen to it, the song is called to mind.
