It seems simply, to me, a song about a broken man; disillusioned with love, religion and life.
On one hand, the biblical references allude to the demise of a man's faith, and the demise of his relationship with God. The faith he once firmly had, has been questioned and ultimately torn apart.
The lyrics can also convey a man disillusioned with (romantic) love, through his own bitter experiences. Love is a competition, or a power struggle.
The things he once celebrated, he has lost confidence in; his celebrations have become cold and broken.
