The changes from the version in with remastered Youthanasia to Th1rt3en are interesting. The lyrics for the Youthanasia remaster version are just "From the start of time..." to "... in the Millennium of the Blind". I thought maybe these lyrics were referring to or quoting something else, but they seem to be completely original.
I imagine these lyrics come from a place of frustration of the direction things (a country or the world) are going and that no one seems to have eyes to see, so to speak. The narrator must be the new regime (new world order's leaders? Revelation's leaders?) with "sacrifice your leaders" referring to the old regime. It seems rooted in Revelations. In the song, the population is under such control that they may as well have no eyes and are thus the millennium of the blind. Are we the millennium of the blind or is the millennium of the blind still to come?
