To put it simply, the song seems to be about his belief in god and how he doesn't care if he is right or wrong by believing.
His belief brings him happiness, and that is what matters the most to him. Slipping away from material possessions: "King of diamonds, king of hearts? One dies loved, and one is dead from the very start." (One covets possessions, the other covets love) He is saying it is better to have love in your life and die wrong, than collect meaningless possessions and die lonely.
Another great line, "There is one thing I keep in front of me. 'Cause cash won't save, cars won't transcend the grave"
He puts god before everything in life, because material possessions won't get him anywhere when he dies.

Great band, song, and message.
