I think the song is also trying to up-scope an effect of a mass of deadened souls as being the 'fermentation' of new 'demons of creation', which would be those who vie for 'decimation', a grand redux of complexity back into a single point, a desire to just go 'home' and be done with. And 'the punishment for all who, wittingly or innocently, contribute to making the planet silent are punished naturally with 'death'.

Maiden always does refer the cause of this to the 'brave new world' structure of current society. On a planet where this is the state everyone imagines themselves to be, there is an apathetic attitude towards communication and nothing amasses. The 'oyarsas' on other planets were being who occupied an upper tier which they merit for having authentic wisdom, who were in mediate contact with a godhead and whom hosted forums for the community.

The point of the novel out of the silent planet was that earth has become 'the silent planet' because human being thrown into isolation vied to host the whole world within their minds, to become 'oyarsas' themselves is the term the novel uses.
