I've seen these interpretations also of the "and the leader is seen" section:
and the leader is seen
So early/Swirling/Curling
the pack on their backs
the fighters/biters
To me this song is about war, comparing armies with magnesium bombs (used in WW2) to vicious animals leaving their dead behind them. The tightly metered rhythm sounds like a military anthem.
I hear the different words sung in the layered vocal tracks, reinforcing the analogy: So early = an army at dawn, Swirling/Curling = the movement of predatory wolves.
And/or the dangerous potential of conformity and groupthink.
Definitely a passionate, visceral, affecting composition.
