I believe that this song is about how people use to be so loyal to their leaders, but now we all are against them. It is talking about going across the ocean, like how Christopher Columbus sailed across the ocean, and everyone was loyal and stuck with them. The line 'Every turn it took, we followed" refers to how loyal we are, that through anything we still had faith. But then the last line says "This land will bring us to our knees".
