This song is similar in subject to Rite of Passage on the last album. It is about the New World Order which is a global fascist agenda by the corporate banking elite to form a one world government and from that point carry out the mass extermination of most of humanity. From a biblical point of view is was spoken of in Revelations. The New World Order is Lucifer's kingdom on Earth whose aim is nothing short of the mass destruction of all life on the planet. By the way, this agenda really exists and has been progressing rather quickly over the last 20 years. The song has nothing to do with Portnoy leaving.
