This song ranks right up there with Ænema as being extremely straightforward. Seriously, having such a debate over the meaning of the song, or even something as simple as the refrence to fire in the song seems kind of silly.

It's already been said, but for some reason at very great length. "10,000 days in the fire is long enough, You're going home!" It basically translates into "27 years of being in a paralyzed and otherwise overwhelming state of helplessness, get your ass up to heaven and kick God in the nuts". Perhaps not that brutal of a definition, but really that's it in a nutshell.

Yes, it's a beautiful song, and to sit here debating whether it's about Bin Laden, Bush, the "real" Hell, the Anti-christ, whatever is just dumb, and practically ruins the beauty of this song. Really, it isn't complicated at all, and acting like it is will get you nowhere.
