I think E - Double was right. This song was about a gunfight. My evidence:
"Before another second clicks away, one of us will die." - High noon, the moment of truth, and one of them will be dead in a momet's time.
"You reach for your metal as I reach for mine" - reaching for the guns they wear.
"The sound of bullets flying through the air is followed by a cry" - Gunshots, one man dies, someone who knew him wails with grief.
"Will we crumble into the dust my friend?
Or will we start this game over again?" - Only one of them can leave alive, probably to fight again - the other will fall to the dusty road.
"The young man lays alone, but fastened to the ground" - Dead in the street after losing the fight.
