If it should be interpreted as saints in actual hell, then, given the next song, it is about the so-called members of the church who destroyed many a people for manifest destiny (the first name it and claim it, word of faith heresy).
However, this is about saints dying the death of martyrs. Ever read Foxe's book of Martyrs? I haven't read the whole thing, but it's rough. Hellish experiences are often for the saints. For the first disciples of Christ, because we all have to inevitably cope with the fact of the empty tomb and who folded the napkin. They had to die painful, hellish deaths for the cause of the truth of the risen Christ.
For a time is was like second hell,
But
The battle is over, the saints are alive (forever)
How can we all thank you, we felt so despised
But we won through Christ who is our life
