I think this song is written from the perspective of someone who lost a loved one, perhaps in the World Trade Center. Not knowing whether or not they're alive and they're praying for intervention of some kind. And then they find out that they're dead ... "There's no fairy tale ending.." and "Sleeping Beauty awakes from her dream with a kiss from her lovers lips" well this woman doesn't that because the loved one died. And all that remains are memories.
