I don't think this song is about what I think, but let me share it:
If there was a worldwide conflict, like a World War III., no one would survive it probably. It would probably be a duel (between Russia and the USA) => Duel of the dynamitee. You'd have to fight, even though you'd be more faithful to yourself and mother Earth (moon, stars and sun) than to the country you'd have to represent. This story is being told by a soldier who is tired ("my eyes are so tired, my legs they can barely carry me"). And he has no will to fight with "the thugs", so he's leaving.
Also seems as an apocalyptical song to me....like the end of the world, God is destroying the sinful Earth inhabitants, stars are falling from the sky and you and your love are trying to find a shelter, though you know you won't survive till the next day. There is also a sign of improving yourself, being a better man, like the bad ones must die and the good ones will be saved and now it's the last chance to switch to good(to "leave your home").
"But I'm no longer safe in my home
So I'm leaving you to write my happy story
Don't behave the way that you should
You should leave it 'till the thugs and all their glory"
Anyway, I think tricksiness is right and its about Gustaf being beaten.
