The song is a paradox. It's about the fact that everything has its price. Extraordinary traits in humans sometimes are acted out. A true piece of individual fulfilment. A godly act. These people become extraordinary and remarkable. Then again, this comes at a cost. Fellow citizens are unable to realise this. They are overwhelmed, disgusted or simply not able to draw conclusions from the extraordinary examples. Normal people go with the flow. Following in this case god's rules could mean that they are deaf to step out themselves. Thus they hope to be delivered, but in fact they go nowhere. They are responsible for history repeating itself.
