Consider the opening to this song. It's a notification that he has reached out to voice himself, and found nothing in correspondance. The next set of lyrics describes what you might call a Disian or netherworld type references different embodiments of Satan.

Now, most people like to jump the gun here and say, "Ooh, they're blasting at religion!" or "OMG, they're Satanic!" Not the case. It's a mere statement of feeling hollow and empty inside. Filled only by that abyss or evil that remains in "nothingness"

This was obviously done by malicious intent of another, whether it was a passive or agressive attack on persona, it destroyed what was left. Leaving them with nothing to live for, and prematurely dead. Now all they seek is repayment to all living, and to test them to be worthy to live.

If you haven't caught on by now, watch the Saw trilogy. It's got a similar theme, they're just more upset about the case than the character "Jigsaw" is.
