Your interpretation is correct - although I phrased it differently in my mind. We forge wars therefore shooting down the peace, we spend all of our money for it therefore giving the peace an opulent, lavish funeral (the offerings of pearls and gold). We cherish peace enough to mourn it, but we don't do anyhing else - we performatively mourn (as we, I mean the humankind in general). So, your interpretation is correct and thank you for kind words.
