It leads me to believe that he is talking about God, because he talks about praying, priest, and his "one and only". He also says about there not being a heaven or a hell when he is gone, and that leads me to believe he may be struggling with his faith. I cannot say for sure what religion he may be struggling with (although I believe it to be christianity) but it would seem to be a pretty religious song. I know he talked about his repect for Jesus, but not for being a savior (not saying he doesn't believe that) but for his ability to tell stories.
P.S. I also didn't hear about a divorce, and hope it not to be so. Eventhough he writes good songs when he is upset (ie Halloween) that is no reason to wish someone pain.
