Maybe the song is a first person narrative of a Warlord who is high all of the time?

Lamb of God – The Faded Line Lyrics 15 years ago
Witness shame's parade, the pain of blame repaid
(An addict blames everything and everyone else for their problem. This could also be interpreted as a blame game politicians play concerning the countries problems, primarily war. However, later lyrics seem to clarify that the song is about addiction)

It's fucking hopeless
Accusations and denial
(People accuse them of being addicted or a variety of other depravities that go along with addiction and it is met with nothing but denial and self-denial)

Hopeless... demon of another day

(Every day is hell trying to get high)

Colorless... stoned, solid grey

(Heroin numbs everything.)

Emptiness... of promises I made

(Promises to self and others of quitting or a variety of other things)

So faithless... the tenants long betrayed

(In drug addiction you will betray your firmest convictions and principles)

Walk the faded line, cursed crawl of time
(Life as an addict, especially an addict to depressants, is faded and hazy, and gets only progressively worse, and will lead to death. You die slowly though, so time just crawls.)(This could also be interpreted more generally, since society as a whole is crumbling and slowly dying in a faded haze of confusion. But I think the "line" clarifies it as drug addiction, since drug addiction is so consistent in its destruction. )

Silence, the only promise ever kept
(This is personal to the user, some are more vocal about their addiction, usually in a manipulative way.)


Familiar touch, a ritual to numb the cut
(addiction)

Salvation in vice
(addiction, drowning out any other problem. You'll get high to forget about the things you did to get high.)

Anguish is realizing what could have been, but never was
(The loss of life to drugs, the loss of what your life could have been. All your dreams and ambitions)

It's emptiness that fills the cup
(Heroin is an empty feeling. It is monotonous pleasure. It's empty of any real substance or emotion)

Devotion in the method of my fall
(An addiction problem is something that you can't stop doing, that is harmful to you and those around you. Again, this song is about addiction)

Pointless... futility continuing
(Relapse)

Endless... flowing corrupted vein
(IV Heroin. Injection)

Walk the faded line, cursed crawl of time
Silence, the only promise ever kept

It's fucking hopeless
Hopeless
