i think the first verse is about the christian religion and the people who are agnostic possibly athiest and either they just dont believe in god or they believe that their can be no proof of his existence. and they're tired of waiting for god to return so they go crazy. and god and his disciples in heaven are just watching them go to war with each other. and god doesnt give any signs to them any warnings, he just quietly watches from above.
and then the "ship is sinking" part is possibly about how its the Apocalypse is coming and the people are freaking out. theyre like "shit, what have we done, what can we do?" and the next verse is about how God just watches the world fall apart and hes not going to save anyone, no one believed in him. and the line "we concrete the blue skies". is my favourite line in the song. its about how god closes off the skies and all of the non-believers will be left behind.
and the ending of the song. is about how god creates a new world Later. but then this world is exactly the same as our world. and they end up destroying that world as well.

well that's my interpretation, at least
