Cryptic White Stripes Prayer?

On Icky Thump, the White Stripes latest album, there is a bagpipe backed blitz of sound that forms the backdrop of a spoken word section by Meg White, the drummer of the band.

She pleads her words in St. Andrew (This Battle is in the Air):

This Battle is in the Air
I'm looking upwards
Who is here to greet me?
St. Andrew, don't forsake me
St. Andrew?
Don't Forsake me
I'm not in my home
The children are crying
I'm moving backwards in ecstasy
Where are the angels?
I'm not in my home
Where are the angels?
I've been true
The children are crying

Does anyone want to offer up what this means?  Is it a prayer to St. Andrew?  An requited dream of heaven?  Rock n' roll nonsense?
I'll let everyone no what I think in a few days.
