I always felt it was v about a ex lovers rejection, his surrendering to that which he can not change, "the speak no more" referring to the end of the compromise that is a relationship. "The voice be still" reference is a graceful non angered goodbye, understanding is not easy for anyone. "I shall abide until, I have been spoken for" in reference to his not being done with the relationship but the other is. "If it be your will" again referring to the unrequited love. " that a voice be true" reference to honesty, " from this broken hill, I will sing to you" the hill being the relationship that is broken, and the singing is him pleading not to end it, "all the praises they shall ring" meaning he is trying to remind her off the good times, "to let me sing" if she will hear him. "If there is a choice, let the rivets fill, let the hills rejoice" explaining how he doesn't want it to end, "let your mercy spill, on all the burning hearts in hell" the burning heart is the heart that's in love and its in hell from being dumped, the mercy would be not calling it quits, "to make us well, bins us tight all your children here in there rags of light" to get us back together, marriage the tie that binds.. we are the 'children. The rags of light is our lost innocent during this fight."all dressed to kill" refers to killing the relationship "end this night" being this horrible feeling, or fight, " if it be your will " submission up her wishes to end the relationship.
