I agree with xinnieful and errky that the quoted part is definitely the highlight of the song.
I think most people know what this is about (maybe?), but in the interest of wasting time while I'm waiting for dinner, here it is again:
This is Eldritch's "welcome to the band, Patricia (Morrison)!" song. The whole thing is a metaphor for the release of the new album and the return of the new incarnation of The Sisters after the breakup of the original.
"I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Love lost, fire at will
Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill"
The press coverage of the split and the fallout afterwards.
"Empire down"
Everyone thought Eldritch was retired (and/)or dead.
"We got the empire, now as then,
We don't doubt, we don't take direction,
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me"
Translation: "I was the most important one in the band, I'm back, I don't care what anyone else thinks or thinks I should do, I've got a crazy goth bird with me now and I'm going to make a cheeky reference to ex-Sisters member Gary Marx's new band Ghost Dance."
