This song is a riddle. The references to the oracle of Delphi (from Ancient Greece) are clear:
Delphi it drew us
Delphi it threw us
As she whistles her sweet Oracles
As Athens is Burning
Castalian Spring
Oracular and Wandering
(The Castalian Spring is the ravine where visitor washed themselves before consulting the oracle).
The name Amalia is never used in connection with Delphi, afaik. It's also unclear in what time this is supposed to take place. Most of the album is sci-fi, and this can't really take place in Ancient Greece (the cigarette smoke...)
I would assume some kind of very strange future with a new oracle.
