This song, like a good portion of the record deals with our desperate need to Rise and Awaken from our spiraling, unconscious descent into extinction. Maynard is using this song as a platform to sound the dread alarm. I think Maynard may realize that Fear Inoculum (the album) could be TOOL's final reveille considering the accelerating dissolution of our species. Someone said there are religous undertones to the lyrics in a previous comment and it is true that this song a Psalm of our times meant to pierce our slumber calling us to 'Arms and Order.
