What's this song about?

1
The roll of distant thunder breaks
2
The afternoon of silence wakes
3
They hurry through from Petergate
4
As if they know this dance
5
In fury blind I drive at night
6
Across the moors, the open roads
7
Beneath the freezing starry skies
8
Racing in some trance
9
These cities are illusions of
10
Some triumph over Natureпs laws
11
Weпve seen the iron carcass rust
12
And buildings topple into dust
13
And as the waters rise it seems
14
We cling to all the rootless things
15
The Christian lies, technology
16
While spirits scream and sing...
17
Oh God I love the world
18
Well I never said I was a clever man
19
But I know enough to understand
20
That the endless leaps and forward plans
21
Will someday have to cease
22
You blind yourselves with comfort lies
23
Like lightning never strikes you twice
24
And we laugh at your amazed surprise
25
As the Ark begins to sink
26
This temple that is built so well
27
To seperate us from ourselves
28
Is a power grown beyond control
29
A will without a face
30
And watching from outside I wish
31
That I could wash my hands of this
32
But we are locked together here
33
This bittersweet embrace...
34
Oh God I love the world
35
And if one day the final fire
36
Explodes across the whitened sky
37
I know youпre said youпd rather die
38
And make it overfast
39
With courage from your bravest friends
40
Waiting outside for the end
41
With no bitterness but an innocence
42
That I canпt seem to grasp
43
I know somehow I will survive
44
This fury just to stay alive
45
So drunk with sickness weak with pain
46
I can walk the hills one last time
47
Scarred and smiling, dying slow
48
Iпll scream to no one left at all
49
I told you so I told you so I told you so...
50
Oh God I love the world
51
