Well, first of all, this song is quite simple in the way it´s worded, yet it´s very deep in meaning. It seems to be gloatful, but at the same time inspiring, because it´s about how one feels he is living in his own darkness (lost), but wants to know the truth, and yet all that truth and power lies inside himself, as in "looking inside his empty soul" where the noose of all the undiscovered fears and insecurities lies; that prison which needs to be worked through, and let go. Hence "would you let it go" stands as both a question and a comment, and "show me How the Gods Kill" stands for the yearning to have all these doubts removed instantly, which is unrealistic. This song is truly about the quest for personal power and self-knowledge. Danzig probably related to this as well when writing the song.
