While this song is about religion, It is referring to the problems going on in the Middle East today.
The line "Fire grows from the East" is referring to the conflicts rising out of the middle east.
Also, many of the problems there today have been disturbing the peace over there for centuries. hence the lines "how is this/ hate so deep/ Lead us all so blindly killing killing"
One of the main problems is a fight over whose land is whose, because they all believe that they are God's chosen people and that this land should be theirs. "Go ahead and dream/ go ahead believe that you are the chosen one... you're righteous/ you're always so right."
Finally, many people in the middle east see dying as a martyr, or for their religion, will send you straight to heaven, and so this is seen as a glorious way to die. therefore, war is seen as a viable option since it is a "Holy War." This birngs aobut the lines "If hates the gate to peace/ This is the last stop," "War/ The only way to peace/I don't fall for that," and "Right is wrong now."
I hope you all aren't scared of this song anymore ;)
