It's taken a long time for me to come to this possible interperatation of the song: The war may be the Great tribulation mentioned in the Bible. The Anti-Christ has come into power and the church and state unites as a corrupt union that ends up persecuting God's true people. The one who is with the High command, may be a prophet of God, who is given revelation as to the delusion of the corrupt system and Gods plans for his chosen. The guns and ammunition are only for emergency,so as not to take up the sword and be killed by the sword as Jesus mentioned to his deciples in Matthew and in Revelation. "Better you should pray to God, the Father and the Spirit, will guide you and protect you from up here" is to indicate that God will deliver his people so they don't have to physically fight the battle. This prophet who is with the High command, is very close to God. "from up here" doesn't necessarily mean that he is in Heaven, but that he is on the spiritual plane of Gods pressence...he is on Gods wave length, communicating Gods messages to his people. In order for the chosen of God to survive, they must do things secretly, knowing inside where they really stand in opposition to the "system"...swearing allegiance to the flag, so as not to give themselves away and be completly overcome. Teaching their children quietly of Gods word and plans for them. It's posible that these children may have to fight a physical battle against the "system" or it could mean an intense time of Spiritual warfare.
@jr75 I agree with your interpretation of the song - 99%. My only question is why the speaker would advise them to swear allegeance to any flag offered to survive, since the Bible makes clear in Revelation and elsewhere that doing so will qualify as rebellion from God and damnation. We are called to stand firm in our trust in Christ, even if it means physical death ... as the early church martyrs did, and which turned out to be a most powerful witness to the pagans of that day.
