I agree with paperbackwriter. This song must be about America. Battle is what we are known for (and semmingly what we seek). We've had our high time and our light and it's faded. Let's face it! But the song is optimistic too. e.g. you can't stop now, show us one more spark, you're going to get back on your feet, etc.
Brandon Flowers took a lot of flack for criticizing Green Day for trashing America and egging on German Crowds singing "Don't want to be an American Idiot!" It's a song about a love for a country that has failed in many respect and lost a lot of what made it great but is still worth something and can be great again.
