I´d much rather suggest that it is spoken from the view of Christianity. "Brorskap" - "Brüderschaft" - "Brotherhood": that clearly reminds of abissal origin.
I mean, it is Christian thought that values death as the beginning of the "true life" - that's one point being truly disgusting: "true, better life" starts at the end of life? How much would someone need to hate and reject life in order to make up the idea, that life starts at the end of life!?
So, what I think is the meaning of this, is that a Monk or some other fiend of life talks to a young person, in order to get him join the circle. (People hating life don't want others to enjoy living. Jealousy - if that's the English word for "Neid"...)
The twist is, that the Brother is not able to utter the lies he normally utters in such cases. It´s like in the film with Jim Carrey, where he is a lawyer and keeps saying what really thinks is true. (That movie sucked so much ass, though...)
In the case of the brother: he tells the young boy, what he really does with him: draining life and soul off of him, letting him be obsessed by "Geist", logos, ratio.
Thus, these lyrics express the core of Christian belief.
