I've thought some about this lately, and yeah it could mean more than the abortion thing which deadxlettersxc mentioned. Kyo seems to have sung enough about that I think, he probably means something more. Particularly from the chorus:
"It disappears without even being able to let out a word
Was it freedom that we won?"
I think it could also be referring to war. I infer that from the line "was it freedom that we won?" That one line doesn't quite seem to fit in with the abortion theme, although I once thought it did.
"It disappears without even being able to let out a word" -- that could be the people who are destroyed before they know what hit them.
The rest doesn't really conflict with it either (and maybe is strengthened, like by "the heartrending beast"). Perhaps the baby, shortly after birth, was killed in a time of war. And the mother is left wondering why it has to be this way. The lines in the end don't fit all too well though.
