Obviously the protagonist of the 9th wave suite has now become exhausted after being stuck in the icy water for so long, and she begins to dream and hallucinate: here about going to confess to a priest but being mistakenly taken for a witch. Her confessions are sexually charged ("Listen to me come, baby: ohhh!") but the unsympathizing clergy and judge of this fictitious town won't have anything to do with it: they're evil in her eyes.
Beyond the story of the 9th wave, this seems to be saying that in the most desperate of situations, we crave for people to accept us and see us for who we are, but they instead shun us and mistake us for something we definitely are not.
Kate Bush is simply amazing.
Of course, the little ending part with the helicopter and men shouting "Get out of the waves, get out of the water!" is a reference to her being rescued finally. The 9th Wave suite is constantly jumping from point to point in its story. This line is also a fore-echo from the second-to-last song on this album, Hello Earth.
