Personally, I think this song is using war as more spiritual warfare rather than actual war. M. Shadows is singing about how he buys into the lies of the enemy rather than follow a straightened path, and he recognizes this battle in his mind. He also uses a couple of biblical references to make this point. He is basically declaring war on his worst enemy, himself.
