Well, I don't think it's quite as complicated as you guys seem to think...
When i listen i'm getting the holocaust out of this.
Crowded streets are cleared away
One by one
(hitlers forces)
Hollow heroes separate
As they run
You're so cold, Keep your
hand in mine
(self explanitory)
Wise men wonder while
strong men die
(people cannot understand the mentality behind the persecution)
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright
Lets give this another try
(people reasuring eachother that it will be okay and stating hitler had to be mentally and emotionally defenseless, essentially challenging him)
If you find your family,
Don't you cry
(reassurance or potentially warning a person of the horror)
In this land of make believe,
Dead and dry
(germany, potentially a camp like Auschwitz)
You're so cold
but you feel alive
(people terrified prior to execution)
Lay your hand on me
One last time
(perhaps a final goodbye to a loved one prior to execution.
and just repeat chorus from here. again, i think this is a pretty powerful song, but definitly cut and dry explanatory.
@zeratul66 Close. Here's what Ben Burnley said: the yrics were inspired by the movie 28 Days Later, where a rage hormone can be transmitted like AIDS and is set loose in England. The music was originally a little faster tempo and was played as a live song called "Always." >>

@zeratul66 Actually it kind of reflect on all wars. I had not dug too deep into the lyrics before, so I thought it was about some general despair or apocalypse. However, the Russian war in Ukraine really sticks to the text. Lastly my guess is that "cold" is really means what it says in this text, namely cold as in freezing.
