This song is about war and the state of the world/violence in general, and it's affects:
"If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one" =bullets, weapons
"Tommorrow's rain will wash the stains away, but something in our minds will always stay"=War/violence has a lasting effect, long after the actual physical effects are gone and the dead are buried
"Perhaps this final act was meant....yada yada....for all those born beneath an angry star, lest we forget how fragile we are"=Some act of violence/war over some issue..land, religion, politics, etc..but it proves again that violence solves nothing. The "For all those born beneath an angry star" those are people, I would imagine, who live in a state of war or violence..."lest we forget how fragile we are" means that war/violence affects everyone in an infinite number of ways, we/life is so fragile..etc.
The end of the song plays off the first verse speaking about the rain, on and on the rain falls from above, washing away the "stains" of war/violence but also serves as a reminder of what it is there to "wash away".

At least, that's my opinion. ;)
"Yada yada?" I just needed to let you know that I'm rolling my eyes.
