She is called "the devil's sperm," meaning that she originates from hell, and many would say war is the devil's creation. She burns everything, "the city's ablaze, the town's on fire," exactly the way a war destroys everything.
The people did not think that war would ever reach their land: "Curse you all, you'll never learn, / The people laughed till she said 'burn!'" When the people were warned that war is coming, they did not believe it: "Warning came, no one cared." Even when the danger was evident they did not do anything: "Earth was shakin, we stood and stared."
When the war was over everything was destroyed, no one was unaffected, and many people died: "When I leave theres no return" and "When it came no one was spared." The middle of the song is a kind of flash back from after the war, trying to explain why no one did anything: "You know we had no time,
We could not even try."
So, yes, in a way gargoland is right it is kind of like an apocalypse.
