I see there faces, and I know where they've been.
I know I'm with them but I aint like that."
It's said that the album is loosely based on the Odyssey, which makes perfect sense here. It reminds me of a soldier in a war that has done things, and has been ordered to do things that question his morals. A good example of this would be the film Glory, in which the regiment which the film revolves around, is ordered to burn down a southern town. The colonel refuses to participate at first, but finally gives the order after being threatened with court-marshall. His men cleary don't want to be a part of these obvious war crimes, while watching the other regiment ("the dogs") burn down these innocent peoples homes, but they have no choice.
"Oh and as we ran, with the fire behind us and the torch in my hand."
Those are the best lines.
