The Alamo was a sad instance when Mexico tried to retain control of Texas by killing a bunch of people.
Similar to Little Big Horn, where the Indians won the battle but lost the war, The Alamo was a last gasp of Mexican control over Texas.
This song, by suggesting a meet-up at the chapel in the Alamo to pray to the Virgin for healing, indicates that if people gather to worship and ask forgiveness, even at the scenes of bad events, they won’t be disappointed.
However, the best part of the song is when they sing, “in the moonlight, midnight, moonlight” - which would still be the case even in the event of all the other lyrics telling a different story, imho.
