A comment on the video: "There is a greek folklore legend about how Constantine XI Palaiologos, the last emperor of Vyzantium, was not really killed when Constantinople was siezed by the ottoman militia in 1453 but he was instead petrified awaiting for the right opportunity to help the Greeks reclaim Constatinople from the Ottoman Empire. With this in mind, I see this song as a parody of messianism and propably religion. And i think there are evidence for this theory, like the talking head attached to a stone, the praying hands towards the end and finally the man falling from the sky who is never actually shown reaching the ground (messiah that never comes)."
Can't believe I haven't heard of this guys before. They been around since the early 70's.
