I sense the Macbeth undertones too, although if you watch the music video you get a very different story:
A man (Kakko) is being chased through the woods by a wolf; he seeks shelter in a mysterious house. He explores the house and finds a beautiful naked woman in the bathtub, who transforms him into a raven, her new servant. The last shot is of the wolf running away from the house--the woman, a werewolf, is in search of more victims to enslave.
Throughout the video, Kakko's spirit is seen singing the chorus--"let me go, master I hate you so"--and pleading to "be a human again, mabe someday". It seems he is trapped as a raven in slavery to the werewolf-woman, and has nightmares about the punishment she would inflict for his disobeying--"I had a nightmare, the wolf eating the raven."
However, this doesn't explain the next line: "entrails of life on MY plate, and I ate 'em", or the parts about "killing the king", unless that's just supposed to be a mark of his devotion. Anyone who can explain those parts would be really appreciated.
