I love the interpretive qualities of this song, the German lyrics could almost be describing science, logic or knowledge itself. From greatdreams. com: "The symbolism of the Black Sun is the subject to fear for the powers of stasis, since it indicates drastic and terminal change." I like applying this to the speaker, whom can represent the dogmatic views of religion, devoured by their own ignorance, their own hellish demons, yet at the same time admitting the truth that reason "penetrates and numbs the mind, freeing one from pain."

Of course I could be wrong.
