This is by far one of Front Line Assembly's best albums-and one of their greatest songs too. (the album is Civilization) When I first heard this track I thought of the Holocaust and World War 2. Adolph Hitler was addicted to a number of drugs "..pinned down to your chemical cross..." But the lyrics also tell the story of human civilization's repetitive mistakes. Wars seems inevitable because new generations forget history and allow the same mistakes to happen again. An economic depression is usually the prelude to a World War. With the declining state of the world economy right now we could be heading for World War 3, like Nostradamus predicted. A third world war would definetely involve nuclear weapons, because someone is crazy enough not to care about the consequences. "the clouds start to rise--there is no surprise--we all start to burn--when will we learn?" Like a lot of artists and musicians, Front Line Assembly has expressed an honest sense of despondency with human life.
