Hm, I assumed that Neko was singing from a male POV: he killed his sweetheart's lover prior to her arrival at their rendezvous, and is now murdering her. This would be more in keeping with the tradition of murder ballads, so I guess your interpretation depends on whether you think Neko would be more likely to preserve or subvert said tradition.
Also, I think the line is:
"So go down as his trembling bride
For to quell all this fury inside me"
That the male lover and cheating woman are now united -- married, if you will -- in death? Jeez, I think your snark to far-fetchedness ratio is a bit off.

So "Go down as his trembling bride" means what from a man's point?
