Concept
Although not following a true story per se, unlike many of the band's previous efforts, there seems to be an ongoing concept throughout the album about a fictional political party named "The War Party", with policies dedicated specifically to the eradication of the human race by supporting global war and hatred. Under the "Krosstika", a symbol crossing the christian cross and the Nazi swastika ("Two great hates that hate great together"). The band refers to the Krosstika on their next studio album, Beyond Hell, and will often play this song towards the beginning of their concerts.
Though the War Party itself has disbanded (according to Gwar lore), the band will continue to play songs from this album in concert, as the album is among the band's favorites.

In streaming windowpanes, the look of others through
Their own eyes.”
