This song has no explanation on the album, even the lyrics aren't given.
The song was originally released on the 2007 album Metalizer. The bonus track on 'Heroes; of the same title shares the same lyrics and very similar melody, but the music and vocals have been remade.
The song was written back when the band wasn't really writting about wars and battles just yet. The band said that, in a way, the song was supposed to be a parody to all those people that consider metalheads Satanists. Don't understand how's that? Type the title of the song into a calculator and turn it upside down. :)
The video at the side is the 2014 edition, in the 'external' link you can find the 2007 version (LIVE).

The dawn of time breaks
See the sun rise to the sky
The wheel of time begins to turn
But then we heard it
A divine voice out of nowhere
Spoke to our hearts and showed the way
Almighty lord we have come to your hall
Do glatem live, creator of all
Open your heart and you will find a way
Paradise calling and enter you may!
Falling down
Now your soul returns to paradise
7734
The wheel kept turning, ages came
Time passed us by
We lived in perfect harmony
But then it happened
Our ranks decreased rapidly
But now its time for our return
Once we were numerous
But that's long ago
We are no longer 7734
We last 2united and 2 became 1
111 perished in flames
Lyrics taken from the original 'Metalizer' album booklet. I only own the description.
