I think it's inspired by Clive Barker's Nightbreed and Hellraiser stories, specifically the crossover between the two,Jihad. "Tribes of the Moon" and the "one who keeps time with the sun" would be about the 'Breed, and the ones who "stretch the flesh unmovable" would refer to the Cenobites and their extreem peircings.
Only confirmation I have is Dave Wyndorf is a huge comic fan who puts numerous references in his songs.
