I think skycamefalling51s is pretty close in his interpretation of this song.
The song appears to be about two lovers parting ways, but one of them still having feelings for the other. Also, as skycamefalling51s said, it seems to be using religion as an illusory device to further explain the relationship.
The line "I'm left to watch you smile as I bleed myself to death" hints that the one lover is suffering immensely at the loss of his/her partner, but the other lover doesn't seem to care, and in fact, seems to be happy without them, even after knowing how badly they're suffering.
The lines, "your perfect heaven has become my hell" and "as these grains slip right past her fingertips" seem to hint at the same indifference at their parting/the one lover's suffering as a result of it.
