| I think maybe that theotherness is right bout the song being about a dying person but I think its about the person talking to God about it, and like when he says he has lost all trust he had in you I think he's talking to God and he's turning on God for not helping this person in their dying state | |

| On the LAMENTATIONS (Live @ Shepherd's Bush DVD)Mikael says this is a "dark and evil" song.So I think it is about killing someone/something in your life that you held dear.I don't know about the abortion thing ;I don't think you would refer to a fetus as a disease or not. | |
