I think that the second stanza could also be written from the perspective of the crew or the narrator of the story, Ahab being the emperor of his soul.

This entire song could be considered from Moby Dick or Ahab's perspective.
"I think that someone is trying to kill me Infecting my blood and destroying my mind"
Ahab's first encounter with the whale. could be the start of the obsession or moby dick realizing ahab's trying to kill him
"No man of the flesh could ever stop me" Kinda seems like it's like moby dick's ego.
"The fight for this fish is a fight to the death" if i was a whale, i'd think i was a fish too. (don't fuck with me attitude)
at the time of the novel did humans know that whales were mammals? Never mind...
"What remorseless emperor commands me I no longer govern my soul I am completely immersed in darkness As I turn my body away from the sun"
it could be either moby dick leaving to the depths of the ocean or ahab's obsession taking over his mind.
the last part is definitely ahab, which makes it more likely the first part is from the perspective of the whale.
either way, awesome song.
