I know my interpretation will sound a bit cliche, but I think the lyrics refer to Jesus, his suffering and the lost faith of humanity.
The sentences "You carried the weight of everyone" and "Bled for the right to see it through" allude to the role of Jesus as the savior of the world, according to Christian gospels. "Rewriting the rules that now we bend" and "We asked for the truth and now we know" might refer to the New Testament, and humanity's inability to live according to those principles. "You left alone, defeated us", "Why did you head out? Hide from our eyes now" talk about Christ's ascension and our inability to perceive him in this world.
I am not an overly religious person, but I instantly associated the lyrics with this topic.

I am not religious too, I don't consider myself a christian person but I know most of the teachings and I thought the same when I had listen the song.
