In this album, Alex Greenwald focuses his songwriting on subjects of cults that he's fascinated with.
Here's what he said: "I became fascinated with how a cult will start with a charismatic leader whose heart possibly could have been in the right place within their distortion of reality. Somehow this clicked with me as unifying the songs."
I'm pretty sure this particular song is all about the mass suicide instigated by Rev. Jim Jones..it's pretty straightforward, really. He's the leader, and he's telling his congregation that the "end is nigh," therefore encouraging them to "be reborn."
