I would have to agree with you, this is also my favorite In Flames song.
I'll make a stab at the meaning of this song from what it actually says.
First verse speaks of the new age of creating cyborgs. Lacking human qualities, they are perfect creations. This extends into the chorus about the ceremonial perfection nonsense.
The second verse describes a horrible world where the ugly and narrow minded, perhaps the cyborgs themselves destroying all memory (RAM) of human kind.
The following bridge puzzles the hell out of me. Chaos should be unsequenced. Installing things such as machines? Cyborgs? Awaiting the restortion of chaos probably refers to the Big Bang theory that before the universe was created there was nothing but chaos, then all of a sudden BANG! I guess they are waiting for the end of the world. Don't worry about this section... I'm not.
Now for the meaning of all this nonsense. Sounds to me like they are against technology, as is the case with many of their other songs. Our society has become so automated that eventually we won't have a reason to live and will be 'formated' from all memory. We've only seen the beginning. Perhaps they are talking about all those movies we've come to know and love such as Terminator... we've all seen Terminator haven't we? I'm not sure what core they're talking about, nor what slowly moving bird of prey they speak of. But the last line I enjoy the most. Apparently technology will be about the destruction of the earth, something far far far worse than hell.
I will make the very notion of Hell seem celestrial in comparison.
