Wikipedia defines the term "No Quarter":
"It originates from an order by the commander of a victorious army that they "will not quarter (house)" captured enemy soldiers.[citation needed] Therefore, none can be taken prisoner and all enemy combatants must be killed."
In simpler terms; the commander will cry "no quarter" telling his troops to kill all enemy soldiers rather than imprison them.
During the song, Maynard sings:
"Locked in a place where no one goes."
This could represent the enemy troops locked in a prison cell. This however would be violating "no quarter" because they were ordered to kill all the enemy troops rather than imprison them.
