As SThiesen states they are playing with a cultural archetype. Upon listening to this song I immediately define this lady as Freedom, since I am Greek. In the contemporary Greek (18th cen. on)world Freedom is a lady and is always mentioned in ravaged battlefields and war scorched land talking to fallen and wounded heroes. Or dying heroes always die happy (in a sense) cause they will find lady Freedom at the end. Best example is the actual Greek national anthem that is talking about Freedom who can only be found from bones and swords.
This can be easily be different in other cultures.
