This song is about the "death" of God in "Endseekers." The song talks about the desolation of the world without either God or Satan in it, but more importantly, the fact that the people in it no longer have a fear of God or punishment for their actions.
The album also follows a former priest who fought in the war on God's side (and his atheist daughter), who becomes a judge in the aftermath, which is where the lines "So don't use your robes to soften defeat,
And trophies of war to boast of your feat," and "Well if all that remains, is our avaricious wit,
Then an eye for an eye is the only law that can exist," come into play.
I think the most important lines of the song are "What if we're wrong? What if we're not all alone? What if we're lost? And we missed the whole point of it all?" because it gives a bit of foreshadowing as to the purpose of God disappearing. I think it is a believer questioning whether God actually died or is simply teaching them something. But he is having sort of an internal argument, which is why after those lines, he says "But I saw God die."
Note: I used the lyrics straight from the band via their lyrics book that came with the album, as the lyrics both her and on the Solid State videos are wrong in some places. (Ex. "avaricious wit," not "apparitions's wit."
