Yes, Østen has said that this is about a suicide bomber. I think the last stanza is about his final thoughts, and perhaps his doubts, if he's really going to do it. The valley of the living dead, perhaps it means that everyone he sees will die, but he can prevent it. "Didn't count the tears I shed", he feels sorry for them. Just an idea :)
