To me this is about a woman's struggle with temptation against religious (or social) stigma. 'Damned and divine' to me says she resists but is miserable as a result of it. I think she is talking to 'god' or an idea of god. She fears hell and that's the only reason she asks for forgiveness, but she doesn't really believe it, and at heart she is agnostic or an atheist.
'It won't help if you wait for me.
I'm a slave to the dark.
I know I'm not a saint, you see.
The dawn is when it starts.'
She begins to feel guilty the morning after she has 'sinned'.
'Feel the shadow of my oblivion
hoping mercy would show her face'
Fear of damnation, hoping to be forgiven for atheistic tendencies or thoughts.
'What will follow if tomorrow's blind?
My eternal night.'
This seems ambivalent. 'eternal night' could mean 'hell' or it could mean eternal ignorance if she doesn't 'wake up' to the truth, whatever that is.
Taking it at face value, she is indeed a vampire, and some mortal man probably loves her and she, or atleast im assuming it, loves him, and has just told him this. The word Perdition means eternal damnation, she is saying on his road to eternal damation, ie becoming a vampire, she well see him again, and as the dawn aproaches she is turning into mist and being swept away by the wind telling him to choose if he will or will not become a vampire and love her etc etc, that is essentaly the meaning of the song...
