I think this song is about the meteor summoned in Final Fantasy VII, which was referred to as 'The Calamity from the skies' in the game which 'made it's way to the inside' of the planet into the lifestream. The 'shell, so beautiful' could be a reference to Aerith (or Aeris) in game. Who was integral to the plot line and summoning as well as stopping the meteor... and beautiful, of course.
Also, as some will know that Trivium did base a lot of the album's concept on both mythology and video games and the fact that it is known that Matt Heafy is a Final Fantasy fan and general video game fan could concrete my interpretation.
Although, all of this could be coincidence and it could be about something completly different.
