This song means to me the end of a relationship. It reminds me of a friend of mine's situation.
"You'll never understand the meaning in the end" suggests that "the other" is not understanding that the "narrator" has cut off the relationship or is pretending to not understand.
"we're standing at the gate you'll meet the darker fate" makes me think that the other is using various abusive acts mostly manipulation to keep the relationship together, but the narrator knows that the other is in the wrong.
"your purity and rage, your passion and your hate" makes me think of a love/hate situations. The other has a rage and has violated the narrator in some way, then played the victim and acted like they were very sorry.
"you promised more than bliss, with your god and with your kiss" the narrator feels cheated by what the other has said and also by how the other has changed the narrator during the relationship.
"I'm on my knees, I beg your mercy, my soul is my loss,I'm well hung from your cross," The narrator has not the courage to stand up to the bullshit and manipulation, even though they know that it's wrong. The narrator has asked for it to stop but is being worn down by the other.
"take me in your arms my love and rape me" suggests that the other has tried to rekindle the relationship through bad methods, and has eventually tried the "make-up" move. It suggests intimacy which is desired, but more strongly not wanted.
"don't hide behind your rage I know you love me, and always will" suggests that the narrator wishes for the anger of the other to end, and for them to just admit that they are hurting so badly.
"you're my possession, of that my love there really is no question" suggests that the narrator sees the other as a material possesion, and wants to "hoard" the other away like a possesion and not wanting to cut the strings completely.
"my better half it's true has seen the darker side of you,
innocence stripped away, at least I've the brighter fate..." the narrator knows the other is in the wrong and that the other is no longer innocent,
and that he/she is a bad person. The narrator is leaving, and knows that he/she has a better future without the other.
