Lyric discussion by mrshotglass 

I interpret these lyrics as having a political overtone.

War and avarice describe today's government pretty well. The lust for war and control, as well as greed. The reason we fight and lie awake at night is because of the political unrest that goes on. Come attrition. We need a smaller hand governing us. The bride is quiet because of all the secrecy behind the closed doors of congress. The bride is also of unquiet things such as wars and oppression. We will fight the archers and the infantry to defend our rights to live and be human beings. When we die, we will die free with our arms unbound because we are free once again.

So bring it on big government. Push us too far and come hell, we will take our freedoms back from you.

Dunno. That's how I see it :)
