I knew this was from Sacred 2, which I've never played. But it seemed like it hinted at a specific plot, and today I got curious. It looks like it fits the background story of one of the playable characters, the Shadow Warrior. He fought valiantly in the war and died. But then he was torn out of the peace of death and resurrected against his will using T-Energy. The ritual failed, the caster couldn't control him and he broke free. But he can't die or he would be lost in limbo. The player can choose whether his goal is to destroy the Great Machine so he can die and return to Elysium, or whether he will use it for immortality and revenge.
This seems to fit the song very well. Like I said, I haven't played it, so if I got anything wrong about it I'd be interested to know. It's an epic song in any case.
