Could this possibly be about Jesus Christ ("I've hoped two thousand years") and Christianity?

Gives the impression they are trying to escape death, which is inevitable. Is there life after death? (they don't seem to think so).

I love the intricate instrumentals in this song, they have managed to fit about four or five different songs in a 4 minute song. Most prog bands now need about 20 minutes to mange this.

@sokorny "A Cry for Everyone" is inspired by the work and beliefs of the Algerian-French absurdist philosopher and writer Albert Camus.
