That's an... interesting interpretation. Better than anything I can do.

I believe this song concern abortion and the main characters (Walkyier?) guilt and shame at making that choice.

'I have walked the earth so many times before your birth' Well, the child hasn't been born yet, still in the womb 'it was i who sowed the seed' The 'character'...you know...'sowed the seed'.

'As yet unwritten history'

the child being as yet unborn 'Once more i stride the lightning road' Playing God perhaps? 'Identity a mystery ' 'She stole my heart - I took her life ...' '(And yet i never knew her name).' This I believes emphasises my....theory. The child hadn't been yet named....

    I also saw it as a song about abortion.
