I love this song, it's in my opinion the only good track on world painted blood!
Let me be the first one to add a comment;
I think this song is about a murderer talking to himself and to his victim while he looks at him while he slowly kills him. Trying to get a grip while not knowing he does is real or not and doesn't know the difference between fantasy and reality. 'insanity, reality thinking why me' shows the killer speaking out the thoughts of it's victim. 'Playing in blood there's got to be something wrong with me' is, I think, the killer doubting if what he doing is alright 'Faceless canvas ripping all your flesh' says in my opinion how the killer rips all of the victims skin and making him unrecognisable. 'your body's not of christ, it's my altar' tells of the killer feeling that he thinks that he 'owns' his victim, he possesses it somehow he thinks it's his own. And where he says to his victim 'you wish you where in hell' says enough; hell is less a less worse place to be then where the victim is at this time according to the killer.
The whole song is about someone getting killed and the murderer somehow referring to it.
This song follows the song about Chikatilo, the 'Rostov Ripper', Russia's most notorious serial killer. And I think it is in some way an extension of that theme, but the references to 'not of Christ ... my altar ... you'll wish you were in hell ... God can't help you now' don't gel with Chikatilo. Perhaps it is Dahmer, but I don't know much about him.

There are definitely other parallels to Chikatilo, in fact every lyric that isn't religious points to his endless pursuit of release with the death of his victims. Maybe its an amalgam of several killers, or just on...

'Die in front of me' is what made me think of Chikatilo in particular; he murdered a mother in front of her daughter.
