I wonder if its so philosophical at all. "Rainbow in the Dark the Dark" was about a football game after all. Has anyone considered that this song might be about erotic dancers? "we bring you beautiful...we teach you sin." "We are your one great chance for a miracle or we will disappear never to be seen again." They tend to travel around until they find a life in a place they want to stay in. Usually after meeting someone...
LOL, "they take your diamonds and then give you steel" almost too perverse for words...
The thing that makes me consider this as a possible meaning is the song title, how does that fit into the religious perspective. "and all the fools sailed away". Could the fools be the ones chasing after a dancer? Or are the fools the ones that thought them to be too dishonest/sinful/shameful to chase after? thereby losing their chance at a miracle, a girl they could never get anywhere else?
