you know, i personally think that it very well COULD mean it is about Christ's passion, or the dreadful hours.
"Mother will you take me down?" - could refer to the pieta (when Mary takes her son down from the cross)
"i have become so afraid" - might refer to that he was afraid and sad since he knew that he would die the death he had.
"Mother, PLEASE take me down, i'm sorry your boy is not brave" - perhaps a temptation of Jesus, because he was God but also a man, meaning he was tempted like all of us.
"Child just hold on, night will soon be gone" - meaning it's over soon
"Sleep if you CAN, but watch your father's hand" - in other words, since he is a man as well, he COULD sleep through it, ending much of the suffering, but he must WATCH what his father (God) wants.
We do not want you. No-body loves you
Father of the dark. Tonight will greet you - the devil, being the father of the dark, could be telling Jesus that nobody loves him. As well as saying that "Father of the dark TONIGHT will greet you" refering to Christ's three day decent into hell after his death on the cross.
thats why i think it COULD refer to the Lord Jesus, but the rest of the song also gives off something different. Lots of ambiguity that's forsure!
