This song is about the Stephen King book "The Stand." The first verse is about Randall Flag. I am pretty sure the second verse describes when Trashcan Man meets up with The Kid.
The third verse is simply about Captain Trips (The plague) and its massacring of the common people. Notice all the references to biblical Armageddon, the topic of the novel.
Note
The fact that the song is about the novel has been confirmed.
