The song is genius. I had not thought of a connection to Iraq war, but maybe that’s the loose case if it is the case. Songs referencing Babylon in Psalms, reggae music, Bob Marley and many gospel songs, refer to the spell people fall under when they cease to follow God. Babylon can be called a pseudonym for the kingdom of satan. The Bible says since sin in the garden of eden the realm we occupy was tainted and satan has dominion and influence over many things in the world. Babylon was an ancient city that sought heights of achievement through vanity and wicked acts spiting the God of creation. Babylonians were oppressors , marauders and were sometimes used by God as a ‘karma’ or disciplinary character when his own people were out of line and needed to be humbled and do right.
The song has at the very least duel meaning which makes it both genius and subtly gospel and spiritual. It speaks truth that the kingdom of satan while alluring, is a path to hurt and demise
