I was the resident Leppardhead, and the opening monologue to that song just seemed to me to describe the aftermath of any random Lovely Angel mission. "When the Walls Came Tumbling Down" is fairly obscure, coming off of their LP debut On Through the Night. Most people don't think of them before Pyromania.

The song itself, however, has no relevance. "All the women were captured and chained?" Uh, no.
