If there is a meaning behind this non-sequitur epic it will probably lie within the arrangement. IMO, the songs different sections play as the linear mental stages an AIDS victim would go through (not that I know how an AIDS victim feels as this is a total presumption). It's start off scary, angry and intense and at some goes into a brief but effective moment of disjointed and somewhat electronic noises, to give off a feeling of torture or pain. After that, however, the song mellows with the speaker (or victim, if you will) excepting the blood in him ("You are the earth on which I travel") even if it's killing him because it has done him so much good throughout his life.
The rest of the song is turbulent but with no words because the man has nothing else to say: he has excepted his fate and will fight to the very end.

i was so confused because you meant "accepted" and "excepted" is almost an opposite word in this context

Ah jeez, my bad. You know that I meant "accepted". It would not make any sense otherwise.

And my interpretation has not changed since.
