I agree with you all this is very militaristic song First two werses are about how he joins the ranks. Second two describe his war expiriences. Fifth verse is interesting: somebody (maybe himself or even satan) is questioning his actions and his enjoyment in killing. 5. and 6. verse are about how he dies and (probably) goes to hell. Last one is probably about general military guidelines (valor, pride courage...) and how its all that matters even though he'll probably go to hell.
I like this song and REALLY like the melody which plays during the last verse.
