I...always felt this was definitely a war song. But it was more of a soldier's struggle to deal with life after war. "The winds of change have reagrranged the country"--the country he returned to was not in the same condition he left it in. The "seed of memory" could be a metaphor for all that he's experienced--right now, he's busy just trying to adjust, happy to be alive, with "nothing but love on [his] mind." But the "seeds of memory" will keep growing, and the memories of war will always be with him, no matter what. That darkness can never leave him, no matter how bright his present life may become.
Personally...I love Rob Zombie, and I loved the Devils Rejects movie...but I didn't think this song fit at all.
