Like it was said before this song was not written for a movie. I really think this song is about losing your virginity. Its writtin from the perspective of the person that is going to take someones virginity.
"And alight on your guarded heart
I'm gonna tear all our temples down"
Young girls are usually taught that thier body is a temple. They need to guard and protect thier temple. The first sexual experience is generally though to be an emotiional experience for a woman and more of a physical experience for a man. That would explain the womans guarded heart and the man knowing he would be tearing down her temple
"I'm going to dive through your crying and sleep in your hair
Rise from your ashes and kneel in your prayers
Tear all your temples down"
If you think of the song from that perspective you can see how the other lines fit. The crying, the calm, the release, the praying etc. Just my take on it though.
