This is how I see it:
The first part of the song seems to be about Adam (the prince) and Eve along with 'original sin'. I think that as the song goes on it's kind of a man vs. nature idea, much some of Robinson Jeffer's poems. Perhaps nature and the animals view human religion as a way mankind is destroying itself from the inside out. As we urbanize the world, destroy nature, crime rates go up, morality declines and more and more people who once denounced religion find it the only answer. The Great Awakening pt. II? Slowly the religious form the political factions and a new world is born, rather than nature being found in abundance, it's concrete. A warped cycle of humanity perhaps?
i pretty much agree. I would add that there is this metaphor of duality between something solid (concrete, ambition) and fluid (flood, water, faith), which creates some sort of dynamics.
