This song is simply a masterpiece.
It talks about a very influent man, maybe an economist ("Roaming aimless through the streets of supply and demand") that has lost everything, realizing at last what was he risking to loose, when he was still rich.
In my opinion, it refers to anyone. To every single man feeling miserable for stupid, senseless things, a song about the relativity of misery, according to one's routine and wealth, about deep, dark despair. About false friends and fake happiness. About loneliness. About careless society. About fate.
In fact, most metalheads has surely experienced things like loneliness, harsh feelings towards society, fake friendships, fake happy periods... I, in fact, went through them all. Sometimes, I feel like I'm still stuck into those feelings, into those fears... That's the reason why I feel this song so near to myself.
I love that one. The guitar work is sensational, too. Mike Howe's vocals carries such force and spirit that tears my heart apart every time. That is a harsh metal ballad, being "metal" as much as it is a "ballad", which is truly difficult.
A powerful anthem, like the title itself says.
