This song delves into themes of power, wealth, and the destructive nature of greed. The song speaks to the idea that in modern society, power and money have become the ultimate goals, driving individuals to ascend to the top at any cost. According to Biff Byford, it's about debt collectors and stock brokers, talking about how they use their funds to build massive skyscrapers (cathedrals in their own way.)
