For some of you idiots who have no clue about what this song and the entire Still Life album is about, this is for you:
The character isn't black, or a Muslim, he is an atheist. In this song he's talking about the "Council of the Cross", or the Christian government and how if they find out he returned to where he was banished they'll kill him. But he doesn't care. He's careful not to get caught, but he won't go away until he gets Melinda back.
