On with the literal/shameful interpretations. I love this song. For shits and giggles I will take my most generous liberties in this interpretation.
[New character is introduced, a guy known only as the Rake]
I got hitched
At 21
There were some wedding bells
I can actually remember it now (lot of booze that day, sorta hazy)
Alright, alright, alright
No longer a completely unhinged crazy bachelor dude
I was married and really wanted to have sex... like, a lot
Until she starts pumping out kids (wizard's sleeve)
Then I finally realized what an idiot I was for getting married at 21
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright
First came Eziah with his crinkled little fingers
Then came Charlotte and that wretched girl Dawn
Ugly Myfanwy died while being popped out
And, thankfully, did me the service of also killing his mother at the same time. (two birds, one stone)
Alright! alright! alright!
What can you do when you don't have a wife anymore
and are stuck with three friggin' kids
All that I wanted was the freedom of a new life
So I began to offing the brats
Alright, now we are talking
Charlotte I buried after feeding her a poisonous flower
Dawn was easy, she was drowned in the bathtub
Eziah fought but still had weakly small child-muscles
Burned his body for pissing me off
Alright, alright, alright
And that's how I came your humble narrator
To be living so easy and free
You might think this would scar me
But that doesn't really happen when you are a sociopath like me
Alright!
[now with that pleasant back-story out of the way, let's get back to this main shindig with Margaret. I hear she hasn't been raped by any insane men/creatures in awhile...]
[Also, from previous personal song comment - I deduced based on cultural and natural clues that the country of setting was most likely Scandinavian. Now, with this song and the Welsh name Myfanwy, the exact country becomes a bit more puzzling. The idea of castles, the Welsh name and the feel of the album for me personally, point pretty specifically to England or Wales (United Kingdom area), but according to maps of tagia climate zones, they are not really present lower than Scandinavia. At the very least, I can, with conviction, cross off any tagia location in North America or Asia.]

wait... what? Your translation makes no sense in its change of tone... and... Scandinavia? Just... what?
