afaik "trois vierges" is french for three virgins. In the general context of this song this makes not much sense. Which is why I assume that it's based on some background storry. The vocals are a duet between a man and a woman. I think that said virgins were about to engage in a relationship with him. Over jealousy or whatever they somehow managed to kill him or someone else.
"A foolish fate that came about
Death could not leave without
Don't try to scour your inane soul
It would be labour lost"
The man singing might be the dead lover and the woman probably some higher entity. Together they comment a past event.
The last stanca is sung by the man so he might not be dead but became an emotional cripple.

This might be bullshit but it makes sense to me.
Interesting song. Heard it just tonight. I doublt those virgins killed anything. I believe he did it all by himself.
