Lyric discussion by CoenLeuven 

I always thought this was about a man who gets the order to murder a woman: "Death, she must have been your will" and "With your voice my belly sunk". As if death has told him to murder this woman.

The person didn't want to do this and he needed all the messages (being told to, his house bursting into flames) he repented to eventually do it. Torn apart by regret he can't live with himself anymore and once an agnost or atheïst he now turns to religion to redeem himself.

This is probably one of the most beautifully told stories I have ever heard...

Although I'm not sure about "Eagle, eagle, talon scream".

@CoenLeuven when he says "Death, she must have been your will" i think hes referring to death as "she" as death is soon going to fall upon him and "With your voice my belly sunk" the voice is the voice of death and it is calling him as he is about to die
