I always saw similarities between the lyrics in this song to the 'Death Gate Cycle' first book 'Dragon Wing''s plot.
Specifically (to those of you who are familiar with it) - the part about the dwarves who live on the continent (Drevlin) and take care of a city sized machine called 'Kicksey-Winsey' - each of them doing their part without knowing the full purpose of the machine. It is only until latter books that we realize the machine is used for an integral part in the plot.
So the part about 'Gather round the secrets that you know' and 'Raping life from Other nations', as well as 'The speech that makes blood flow', (the main dwarf character loves to make speeches), and the 'The reaping arms of silence' - the machine has so called hands.
I realize that I'm almost certainly wrong in my interpretation, but it bears nice resemblances don't you think?
