I would like to disagree with the majority of you, in a respectful way.
To me this song is more futuristic. Much closer than many might thing. This is evident in the repeat of "welcome to the new age"
In this new age, war is evident. Waking up to ash and dust is an alluding to war stricken times, and what I believe to be (call me crazy) but perhaps some sort of socialist/communistic agenda. "we'll paint it red, to fit right in", red has been synonymous to order and power, similar to the USSR and Nazi party.
Essentially the song elaborates a prophecy of the dawning of war, control of the masses, loss of freedom, and corruption of the higher ups. It's a beautiful song, incredibly well written, catchy, and deep.
