I'm actually kind of surprised no one's taken a hard crack at this song so I'm going to go out on a limb.
To understand this song, you need to first understand that BTBAM is more of a Christian band than people often realize. While that is not their primary marketing or focus and most of their members are more openly straight edge or vegan before they are openly religious, many songs and music videos have very obvious Christian themes, ESPECIALLY this one.
With that in mind, they are not fans of America- the name The Great Misdirect as well as the album art should make this clear. Most of this album focuses on how western society has distracted, manipulated, and controlled the public to prevent us questioning the world around us. Fossil Genera is kind of the midpoint climax of the album with an interesting new revelation to the story.
The song is told from the perspective of unknown entities who live on "Cloud Mountain." In all cultures from Judaism to Ancient Greece to Tibet, various gods, angels, dragons, or other mystical beings have always lived high above commoners, often mountains. In the Book of Enoch, the disobedient angels who abandoned God to side with Lucifer are referred to as Watchers or Grigori (where we get the name Gregory, meaning 'alert' or 'watchful') and all of these beings observe human life from high up in some mountain, whether it's Mount Hermon, Mount Olympus, the Himalayas, etc.
Anywho, these entities have gone by a wide variety of names and labels throughout different cultures. In the 20th century, however, what has pop culture decided to call these high and mighty beings who bestow wisdom, technology, and other blessings from above to humanity? Aliens.
The Ancient Aliens debate started with a man named Zacharia Sitchin who interpreted the Sumerian word for their gods, "Annunaki," which means "those who from the heavens came," literally as aliens. This has sparked an immense amount of false information regarding these beings and a very chronocentric and ignorant way of looking at world history. Personally, I don't believe literally in "aliens" because faster-than-light intergalactic travel is more or less scientifically impossible. What IS possible however is travel between dimensions, i.e. wormholes and dimensional gates. So if these beings are from another dimension, I find it hard to believe that they are literal aliens and not spirits, demons, fallen angels, etc.
Whatever you call these beings, they are real. They have secretly interacted with our planets government leaders for thousands of years and have given us technology, wisdom, science, etc. in exchange for certain favors. What kinds of favors? We don't exactly know. Maybe to study human life. Maybe so we could build occult, astrological monuments like the great pyramids and the Stonehenge to create dimensional gates to allow them further access to our three dimensional plane. Who knows? The point is that they've been here for a long time and they're not going anywhere anytime soon.
The Bible and the Book of Enoch further explain that these Watchers descended to Earth to create half-human/half-angelic beings called Nephilim who became mighty warriors, giants, priests, and kings in the ancient world. Since all US presidents are related to European royalty and all European royalty to the kings, emperors, and pharaohs of Rome, Greece, Egypt, and Sumeria, these same half-divine bloodlines have controlled the whole planet for thousands of years. This is further supported by the fact that from the Mayans to the Hittites to the Druids to the Vikings we see the exact same pagan blood sacrifice cults with the same gods, rituals, imagery, and social structures on every continent.
Fossil Genera explores these entities' conspiratorial deals made with world leaders for the purposes of "uniting" humanity with war, famine, disease, disaster, etc. until we become so physically, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted that we will welcome a new one world government and one world religion united under the worship of these entities and the reign of the Antichrist.
It's quite a simple song yet it requires incredible mental leaps and an understanding of comparative mythology, religion, world history, and a little bit of insanity to completely grasp. It's a harsh truth mixed in with vague lyrics to avoid offending and terrifying their fan base. I recommend the book The Atlantean Conspiracy as well as basically anything on http://www.bibliotecapleyades.com/ or http://www.saturndeathcult.com/ to further elaborate on these seemingly ludicrous claims.
