The Arms Of Mercury refer to the arms of Mercury/Hermes, messanger of the god.
When a mortal died, he would carry their body before the river styx.
So in essance, this song is about the songwriter afraid of death, or more so afraid of what will happen to him after he dies.
"I know the pain that I've caused
I know the Lives that were Lost
In this Dark Time the Eyes deny to wash all this Blood from my Hands...
In the End will we all pay this Price..."
This meaning that he's caused so much pain and suffering to others, that he knows he's going to pay the price for all of it.
