I agree with most of this. Though I think the whole song is Blake talking to (her vision of) Adam, like you saw in the last verses.

"Blake describes him as feeling completely justified in how he went about making the world a better place. However, his vision for a perfect future did not include everyone, and Blake began to believe that Adam himself was becoming a monster in the process of trying to obtain it." (From Adam's page) pretty much covers the first two stanzas. That is of course only if Adam wasn't the sole leader of the White Fang when Blake met him.

Going on to "Born an angel, heaven sent, Falls from grace are never elegant." When she first met him, his resolve and presence made him look like an angel to her. But since she now sees him as a beast, he has fallen from grace - not only hers, but the "objective" grace, deciding whether you're a good or evil character.

"The moon will sadly watch the roses die." can easily refer to his symbol, Wilt. It basically represents a dying rose. Since the White Fang is mostly active during night, they're always watched by the moon. Also his final attack from the Black Trailer is titled "Moonslice" and prominently features the shattered moon in the background.

"In vain, Lost, no gain" now connects to the dying roses: They die in vain - everything Adam does just makes it worse for him, the White Fang and the faunus in general...

Concerning the chorus I'm exactly with you - most probably a hinted reationship (born from admiration; see "angel") she doesn't want to admit because of what he's doing.

"Show them gods and deities, blind and keep the people on their knees. Pierce the sky, escape your fate. The more you try the more you'll just breed hate, and lies." Since appearently, Adam now is the Leader of the White Fang - or at least a high ranking member who has enormous influence - he keeps the other members down, so they'll do what they're told. He shows the high ranking humans (-> gods and deities, as they see themselves as better than faunus) what they're capable of and thus challages his fate. But it just makes it worse...

"Truth will rise, revealed by mirrored eyes." Definitely hinting at the girls, as you analysed.

For the rest of the lyrics I'm entirely with you - with exeption of the time the song is set. I think it rather describes Blakes feelings during the current events. She had some time to digest it, but now that she again was confronted with it, old wounds opened again. Personally I'd say she has a suspicion that Adam has something to do with it and thus thinks back - but that's something I can't prove, so I won't go to detail here.
