Does anyone know what it means "a ritual at the corner of George and Constantine Read "?

Song Meaning

I don't think it refers to the royal order in Greece! Anybody have other suggestions? TNX!

@tuenzo I wouldn't put it past them to have a more specific meaning, but what I guess is this:

It's the abstract intersection of the strategies of military legends Constantine (who changed the empire to Christianity because it made it his warriors more successful) and George Washington (who valiantly fought off the British in the name of freedom while continuing to hold slaves and condoning the institution of slavery).

There’s a pretty literal meaning to it as well. The “Atomic Murderer” they are referring to is Harry Truman, who was president during WW2 and made the decisions to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There is a museum and monument for him in Independence, Missouri. \r\n\r\nIn Athens, Greece (the cradle of democracy), at the intersection of Georgiou and Konstantinou Avenues stands another statue of Harry Truman. The “ritual” refers to the fact that for several decades now it’s been defaced, bombed, painted and even decapitated during protests and has been re-cast and re-erected over and over again....
