This is my favorite song from Empire. So beautiful. Lord help my poor soul were the last words of Edgar Allan Poe. Damascus is the oldest city in the world, subject to many wars and religious strifes, this song seems to be about modern wars against Muslims or middle easterners in general from the perspective of the invading (probably american or allied forces) and how they see the middle eastern people as less than themselves.
