Like I said before I'm not positive about this song but the reason I'm getting what I'm getting is from the 1st, 6th, 7th, and final lines of those two stanzas. I'm seeing the first (contaminated from the spree of self salvation) as things being bad from humans getting wealthy and greedy, the sixth and seventh (in your search for redemption greed and lies become the savior) talking about how when you want something some will become greedy and will go as far as lying to get to what they want, and then the last line of that stanza (for are not these the windows to your soul) seems to be saying that by committing the above acts you're opening yourself up to damnation.
I'm personally not antichrist but because I don't understand that particular belief I don't feel that I'm at liberty to say whether its right or wrong. Dimmu Borgir is just a musically incredible band, so I listen to them and respect their beliefs
while listening to the music whether I agree with it or not.
