im not sure, but i think this song has something to do with being more open minded and questioning what youre taught.
The first part ('i have travelled......have lead me here') i think could link with the second part. as i lay dying being a christian band they could be talking about questioning your teachers about telling you there is an afterlife and all the 'meaning in tragedy' stuff.
i think the second part could be a political thing but its a bit vague to be sure. maybe the 'compellng us to fight the battles' bit is something to do with questionning the leaders before acting on what they say, which would link in with the open minded thing.
