This song is fairly simple to explain. It's a reference to the Belmonts of the video game series Castlevania, about a family of vampire killers charged with the task of killing Dracula every 100 years.
Unfortunately, I haven't played any of these games to know if the reference goes any deeper than that.
Otherwise... I believe the song is about a couple who regularly fight vampires, the minions of Dracula, but the chorus hints that the speaker may have been turned. It would make sense that he would try to comfort his wife if, say, he were bitten; she would probably be startled and a bit upset once they met again - hence parts of the chorus telling her to "calm down", "be careful", remember her training and "say a prayer" for him. The second part he notes that they must hunt separately, and it would make sense if she's to hunt vampires while he needs to hunt for blood.
It seems through their love for each other they split up without incident, but they know if they ever meet up again she should use her training well.
I love this song! This band needs more fans...
