Yes.
You don't have to like Christianity to acknowledge this. And the Indigo Girls aren't trying to convert anyone. They are, honestly and artistically, making personal statements, which in some songs, such as this, includes their faith.
"Prince of Darkness" is a straight-up Christian statement in which the writer professes her commitment not to Earth, the realm of the Prince of Darkness, but to Heaven, the realm of God.
As "romantic" as the temptations of Earth can be, the writer "does not catch the spark." She recognizes that her ultimate "place is of the sun," i.e. with God in heaven. Earth is a place of suffering, of pain, drugs, and even nuclear devastation. She will not be deceived by the Prince of Darkness any longer.
It's a passionate, well-wrought song. You don't have to agree with its Christian framework to appreciate it.">
