The group indicated in this piece seem to be living in some kind of better world of "future glory". The sunshine (many prog lyrics seem to be rather heliocentric) apparently can burn away the selfish shell of darkness creeping from people's minds. People in this place paint their faces white to indicate they are at peace within. Peter Gabriel would later do a lot of white-face painting with his stage characterizations. (Quite a few "goths" do as well these days...) People have better focus in this place. Where ever this place is, they sure seem to need you and want you to join them there...
