I have a feeling this song may be about war, but this part here tells me it's about Serial Killers.
"For five minutes at a time the power held true.
"Without consternation our laws are lost."
Serial Killers don't obey our laws. Our laws say it's wrong to murder. But they do it anyway.
"Another tag, another headline."
When I hear this line, i think of a morgue, and the news telling about yet another tale of a murder or child lost to a butcher, lost to a child killer, lost to narcotic ritual.
"Another smiling face shall stay 10 winters long forever."
Ever seen a picture of a missing child on a milk carten? That's what I see when I hear this line.
The rest could be about war, "there is blood on both shores" We don't obey our own laws when we go to war.

We may fight for freedom, but at what cost?
