Oh, Sleeper's last album was about a physical war between God and Satan. In the last song on that album, "The Finisher," God cuts off Satan's horns and kills him. This album begins directly afterwards.
The first few lines describe the last moments of the fight, with lines like "Behold our Captain, as he controls his captive," showing that God is winning. After he kills Satan however, things take a turn.
The line "So long all you children, The road is not yet coming to an end" is God telling the followers that have fought for him that their victory is not going to be what they expected, and then he vanishes. The remaining lines of the song are the followers of God expressing their disbelief, and accusing God of abandoning them after all they've given.
