A dark song, but I wouldn't say it's their darkest. In case anyone was wondering, an "alarum" is a warning or call to arms. "Piranesian" refers to Piranesi, an Italian architect and artist who contributed to neoclassicism. And Luxuria, who crops up twice to my knowledge with The Tea Party, is the personification of self-indulgent sexual desire.
I know all that thanks to Dictionary.com, but I still can't really get my head around the song's meaning, I'm afraid.
