I'm with Mel Azavedo - I think there's a killing vibe to this song. However, I think he's planning to kill himself because even though he really loves Lavinia, he can't get past the death of his lover Lucia, and is hoping to be reunited with her in death. I hear the lyrics just a little bit differently than what they have up here:
See my love asleep on the floor
In a pose that's familiar
See, my son, we'll send you to war
If the battle don't kill you
But I've a change in mind
*She's calling all the time
That I don't want to live in your side
Though the rose is vermillion
And I'd find it so hard to survive
Without when within you
My sweet Lavinia
My sweet Lavinia
All the years buried under the floors
And the wounds in the parlour
Would have come up to greet us before
If it weren't for my heart because
*I've her name in mind
And it's calling all the time
For my sweet lavinia
Lucia my love, in the darkness shine
Lucia my love, and you're not mine
Lucia my love, in silence so long
Lucia my love, no promise no more,
Lucia, I walk this unknown
My Lucia my lover my own
Lucia, my love, i leave here soon
Lucia, my love, my life's over when i come home
Lucia, Lucia, Lucia, Lucia... two three four
