    10 Points from 10! Großartiger Text und auch hier ist die Bassline fantastisch...

    it's not 'dedicated', he says "this is a song called the Story Of Isaac and it's about those who would sacrifice one generation on behalf of another". An explanation more than a dedication.

    in the live version (on Live Songs) he dedicates the song "to all those who would sacrifice one generation on behalf of another".

    I don't think it has anything to do with fanaticism.
