I love this song.. It is really beautiful. I thought this song might have some religious-undertone to it (since they do hint at Christian messages often), but my perspective has changed a bit after reading someone's journal in which their experience seems to fit perfectly with this song:
I think the song has to do with the singer knowing an area from the past, and coming back to that area but realizing all of the changes which have occurred while he has been away - the area 'demoralized'. Hm, actually, this could get complicated.. so to put it simply: Coming back to an area which haunts him a bit due to everything kind of becoming corrupt, but still finding cover/safety/peace in the 'underground'/unchanged areas, and he feels they could take back the land if they wanted to. ("they" being someone else he knows well from the area) .. "we could take over"
that might be stretching it a bit, but that's my opinion as of now.
