I've always thought that this song was about a man purposely giving a woman, more than likely a hooker, a fatal std. "The venom in the heart of the dagger" and "the worm in your pearls singing prayers" comes across as him poisoning her. The "cunt" thing comes across to me as it isn't his first time doing this. Then the whole "only hell can help us", "I'm sorry you were all mine" and "let the love gnaw the meat from your bones"...i mean come on. He's pretty much telling her that she's done for.
