Since the start of the 17th century,
There's been the scent of unseasoned wood burning in the air
And the conquest of nature meant nothing at all,
While we betray exception, we take all that's there.
Motives are translucent in the reflection of shame,
The actions ghostly remnants of our ancestral ways
And unwittingly, you just take your place in this parade.
The voracious march of godliness makes us all the same anyway,
All the same.
Since the dawn of our human family,
There's been concentrated sepsis blowing in the breeze
And we turned on each other with ferocity,
Desperation, forced without reprieve.
But the missions were misguided and the trammel led astray,
The air resounds with thunder as the victors seized the day
And the haunting voice of history lives ignored but not betrayed.
The voracious march of godliness will get us close to heaven one day,
Some day...
The voracious march of godliness makes us all the same anyway,
All the same...

i believe its just a metaphor for our self destruction and how our civilization is really in a progressive decline when we think we are progressing.
following the past.. not heeding the signs and mistakes we have made.. and repeating them. laying traps of poison (his sepsis) for the future and now..
all things are done with thought this was good.. but its misguided..
all people feel we are doing right.. but one day.. we will die.. from our own hand

I wonder if the burning of unseasoned wood refers to witch burnings, or just deforestation?

It's about how the human being is destroying, in several ways, our environment. It says that we, even don't knowing, take part on it, overusing notebooks, books and etc...

This song tells us that since the 17th century there has been increasingly high standards for living and spirituality. These ideals, being blindly followed have led us to destroy the environment and each other to maintain what has been dictated to us to be our rights as people. But it says sarcastically in the end we'll go to heaven for blind faith. If only there was heaven for me...
