This song is one of Danzig's chilling songs, because he is speaking directly to the listener and telling them how they can learn the secret of how the gods kill (basically, their power). If you want the power of the gods, it comes at a price.
Danzig asks initially, "Do you feel alive in a darkened room?" In other words, do you feel most at home in the dark, reveling in your own black mind? Then he asks, "Do you know the name of your solitude?" Danzig then urges the listener to open themselves up to the darkness "if you want the power."
There you have it. Danzig is confessing that he has sold his soul to the devil, or whatever darkness is responsible for giving him his power, fame and talent. If you want it, you too can have it easily . . . if you're willing to follow the same path.
I don't know if I believe in any of this or not, but there is definitely something undeniably spooky, powerful and seductive about this song.
