This is a beautiful song :) I'm not sure I totally know what the meaning is, but I am going to take a guess...
I think that it might have to do with a couple growing older together ["the dirt on your face was the ashes"- like maybe that's a way of saying wrinkles from working so hard, from smiling/laughing in life, from just living etc], trying to live life to it's fullest by chasing the storm [All we've reaped and all that we've sown, this blood is our own]. And then maybe one of them is sick and the other is encouraging the other to get healthy again ["raise your head, you've got to get better"].
So I don't know if this is anywhere close to the actual meaning, I just thought I'd take a shot at it :)

Now that's deep. I didn't even even see it that way until now. You're right on point.
