Alright, there are a few ways of looking at this song:
In Scottish/Irish Christianized legends, the faerie folk were once angels who were too good for hell, but too bad for heaven, and were exiled to earth rather than sent to hell. "Angels fall to earth" could be a reference to this.
Samhain was the Celtic New Year, and also marked the beginning of "winter", as opposed to Beltane six months later which marked the beginning of "summer." Samhain was the final harvest festival - the culling of the herds, when any animal unlikely to survive the winter was slaughtered for meat and hide. Traditionally, Samhain marked the last day anything could be harvested - anything left in the fields after that day was left for the daoine sidhe - the faerie folk.
Samhain, however, was also a fire festival, where the hearth fires were kindled for staying warm through the winter. It also marked a "thin time" when the veil between the human world and the supernatural world was practically nonexistent. "Samhain of my soul" could refer either to becoming close to the alien world of the supernatural, or kindling a spiritual fire (which, given the ceremonial magick allusions throughout Danzig's work, wouldn't be unusual) against the wintry spirits.
In Scotland, in particular, the faerie folk were divided into the Summer/Seelie Court who meant well for humanity, and the Winter/Unseelie Court which meant well for themselves at the cost of whoever. The song could be seen as a call of defense against the influence of the seductive winter faeries.
Generally, however, just a good song. I like the subtle use of the horn section.
