'broken seal' refers to the breaking of the seven seals in the book of revelations, signifying the apocalypse. 'Liars bound in thorns' refers to Jesus, who was crowned in thorns, and by extension christianity. I also think the title is a reference to the philosophical work of Nietzsche, especially 'Thus Spoke Zarathrustra', which is concerned amongst other things with free will, and the will to power, which is similar to the doctrines of satanists.
