He's finally got her at the end of the album, after all those songs about his one-sided, frustrated love for her, and of her hopeless and unhappy love for the man that is a stone. She's light and alive because she's finally "killed" her feelings for the other man, and the black sheep boy is basically... reveling in the glory of it, and does so shamelessly by using language related to, well, murder!
Or, the murder imagery is all part of a fantasy of his, and he doesn't really get her after all. He could just be saying that the only way he could ever get her in the end would be by killing the other man. And he could never do that, so the love is as hopeless as it was in the beginning, but... he can still have wild fantasies about it to appease himself. I am convinced it is a sad song!
I definitely agree with your second interpretation. The entire album is all so one-sided, the singer keeps talking about how the girl will never love him back because she's in love with a "stone". It seems like this is him fantasizing about finally having her, and of course the best case scenario for him is that they've killed her lover together, and now "you're no one's but mine". There's nothing in the rest of the album to suggest her feelings have changed, so it makes more sense to me that this is his fantasy.
