I'm going with the war being the meaning of this song. I agree that the part about half across the world underground being about oil being key. Also, Monday Syndicate is likely a reference to the newspaper...syndication is what they call different stories being shared across the market. i just see this vision of a politician or business man caught up in the game of money and power and then the view changes to losing a life in the war and it all hits home. There is an undercurrent of hope, that it's not too late to change our hearts and our actions, and that there is comfort and inspiration in each other until then.
