I very much agree with Ladylunacy, that the song is a plea to God, asking why he didn't help when she needed her.
However, Castle Down was originally released on the album By The Sword, which was Emilie's musical tribute to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
I think that this song isn't meant to represent the loss from the point of view of only one person, but a plea from the entire country, asking why God allowed this to happen (I'm not saying God made it happen, not at all, I'm just saying that's my view on the song)
