Cover art for To Rid the Disease lyrics by Opeth

On the LAMENTATIONS (Live @ Shepherd's Bush DVD)Mikael says this is a "dark and evil" song.So I think it is about killing someone/something in your life that you held dear.I don't know about the abortion thing ;I don't think you would refer to a fetus as a disease or not.
