//my interpretation

This song is negative not positive.

"Satellites that compromise the truth" refers to how the government and mass media control and filter information to the people. Plus people are not totally in touch with all of the bad events going on in the world even when shown due to their "Rose-tinted view".

People want war without knowing the entire truth or other side of the story and "A hopeless embrace" points out how they fail to take in all info

"Faith...It fuels the lies, it feeds the curse" - people use their own ignorance and beliefs to oppress other religions, cultures, ethnicities, etc over and over throughout history. A modern example can be the battles in Africa or the Middle East. Others are the witch hunts and holocaust.

So basically the people fighting feel they are "glorious" but truly they are not deserving of glory.

It is already known that they question war/government/society and are not religious.
