Seems to me that this song is about the Cold War. It talks about the East side and the West side - either East and West Germany or Easter society versus Western society - and "the war to save democracy". The line "Every nation thanks you for putting down your arms" also supports my theory, for during the years of the Cold War, the world was terrified that a nuclear war would break out, effectively destroying the planet.
