All of their songs are literary allusions in some way shape or form. This one is a literary allusion to Macbeth. If you are familiar with the play, it almost describes a characterization of Macbeth. "Darkness is a harsh term, don't you think? Yet, it dominates the things I see." And the line "stars hide your fires, these here are my desires" that is almost directly taken from Macbeth. I don't know them for it though, I think it's really cool. I also noticed that the song "The Cave" is a literary allusion to the story The Odyssey by Homer.
