This song is about britain being invaded by immigrants and the indigenous population having no power to fight,and the phenomenon known as white flight,the usurping of nature.there you fucking go.
I think this is one of their most stoner rock-oriented songs! Well, of course they have no influence on the stoner rock scene, but meh ... I hear alot of stoner rock elements in this song, espacially from 2:30
I'm such a Priest lover. I've listened to every album from this one to Painkiller (Painkiller was my first full Priest dose). This one's the latest I've listened to, and yes, I like them all. Haven't checked out Rocka Rolla. And Jugulator really sucked. Not sure wether Angel of Retribution or Nostradamus will be really worth a listen...
Another song I never knew the portent of until later, but still figured meant much more than my child mind could realize. Besides which, was metal/psychedelisized through...love.
I always felt that the early Priest records had a certain British sci-fi or 'slipstream' air about them--right down to the album covers in some cases. 'Island Of Domination', for example, reeks of J G Ballard.
@lyon1535 Hey, I agree. Those are my two favorites as well. Island may even be my top song. Another one is The Ripper. There just aren't enough songs about Jack...PS- Have you met Bob Dobbs?
@lyon1535 -my dad owns these 4000 watt loud speakers for outdoor events...so when the old mAN AND HIS WIFE STEP OUT..I TURN UP THE PRIEST AND MAN WHAT A DIFFERANCE...THE COPS SHOWED UP AT THE FRONT DOOR WITH FLASHLIGHTS AND I NOTICED ABOUT 20 NEGIBORS STANDING LOOKING..SO I SAID I WAS EXPERIMENTING WITH SOUND.AFTER THEY LEFT..I DISCOVERED THE DOGS HAD HIDDEN AND THE GIANT FISH TANK WAS BUSTED AND SO WERE KITCHEN WINDOWS..oh shit!!!! I TOLD THAT THE DOGS WERE SCRAPPING AND FELL ON THE TANK!!
@Colbystrns That's what I also think, man ! Their 70s stuff like "Sad Wings of Destiny" are their best fucking stuff. That's why I have a "Sad Wings of Destiny" t-shirt ! ^.^
so easy to talk tough on youtube. lol.

I can't figure out what they are talking about. Is it drugs? Is it supposed to be whatever your demons may be? Whatever your addiction may be?
What is the island of domination?
Please any ideas if you can?
