I can see some "christ's passion" reference here. Actually, a little before it, on gethsemane, when the devil teases jesus.
The scarecrow would symbolize jesus (even the shape of the scarecrow resembles a crucified man) and the crow is the devil.
Verses like "A demon - I've got to contain" and the feeling of an near future sort of sacrifice as shown in "I close my eyes and see what's coming in my way" and "Do I really have a choice? No no no" resembles a lot Jesus asking God to avoid the sacrifice from him. ~
The Jorn parts are when I think my interpretation is more accurate. "So you're an angel meant to walk down here and you believe it's all divine and you don't play by all those temporal rules" and "when the lamb's been torn to pieces I've been crashing from the sky" are the verses I think the Crow is more and more the devil.
As near to the end, when is mentioned a "Flight to hell" and the devil take the scarecrow's soul resembles what is said in the bible, that Jesus, when died, was down to hell to "defeat" the demon and then rise to heaven.
Or I may be just nuts. Anyway, that's my thoughts.

I loved this interpretation! I think this is a beautiful way to see it.
