No, he is refering to this:

Firth Of Fifth
 The path is clear 
Though no eyes can see 
The course laid down long before. 
And so with gods and men 
The sheep remain inside their pen, 
Though many times they've seen the way to leave. 
He rides majestic 
Past homes of men 
Who care not or gaze with joy, 
To see reflected there 
The trees, the sky, the lily fair, 
The scene of death is lying just below.
 
The mountain cuts off the town from view, 
Like a cancer growth is removed by skill. 
Let it be revealed. 
A waterfall, his madrigal. 
An inland sea, his symphony.
 
Undinal songs 
Urge the sailors on 
Till lured by the siren's cry.
 
Now as the river dissolves in sea, 
So Neptune has claimed another soul. 
And so with gods and men 
The sheep remain inside their pen, 
Until the Shepherd leads his flock away.
 
The sands of time were eroded by 
The river of constant change.
 
Name the Band, and the Album, no fair using Google or any other search 
engine, either.

Happy New Years, all!
