Here's what I got. I believe the song is talking about the Heaven's Gate cult scandal. The cult believed that a UFO would come to get them if they took there lives by poisoning themselves. Some of the members did not participate and left. The survivors tell there story through the lyrics. "Somehow we're lead by fools"-talking about the leaders of the cult. " no better when we're lost"-the cult did alot of traveling. They were told to leave behind loved ones break all communications. "I fell into your shoes...but only one"-commenting that they followed to a certain extent with only one foot in the cult world but one foot out enough to not participate in the mass suicide. "chapter tells of a final virtue"-explaining the cults end of the world plan. I think the cover kind of interprets that story too. It was in a way a sci Fi crime.
