How does Haile selassie fit with the theme of the first disc?

I looked at it like an alternate ending kinda thing. Remember he said some of the slaves stayed in the ocean to pull the slave ships down, while some of them went back to africa. “Haile Selassie” represents the slaves that went back to africa and became royalty

Slavery in Ethiopia was abolished by Haile Selassie in 1942, so story-wise, this would mark the end of the need for the Long Chains to still be sinking slave ships and most of them would return back to Africa. However, some still remain to this day, which leads to Alan Kurdi resurrecting in the following song. Your attention shifts to their influence on modern times, how far people have come from Harriet Tubman and The Underground Railroad. However, even if there are no longer literal shackles and chains, mental slavery still exists and the Helter Skelter section starts exploring this ongoing racial tension.
