considering this band's lyrical style, I think this song is about valkyries and Valhalla of norse legend:
"on falcon's feathers soaring overhead choosing warriors among the dead"
The valkyries flew over battlefields on winged horses, and chose the bravest fallen warriors to continue on in Valhalla.
"the battle rages, but they fight in vain when all is done it must begin again "
The warriors in Valhalla eventually go on to fight for Odin in Ragnarök, the final battle at the end of the world. Hence, the battle begins again.
Fucking awesome song regardless; the intro is da shit. I'm buying the album as soon as I find it.
