Well, from what I can gather, it seems like a foreshadowing of what many refer to as '2012', or the planetary alignment in December 2012.

During that time, the planets will align and create a solar eclipse. Some believe that 'Planet X' aligns with the rest of the planets, and it is the "Black Star" or the hidden sun of our solar system. It is in shadow at all times (allegedly)

"Black star deceiver kills it all...the sun lies waiting for a call."

The sun is waiting for God's call to usher in the end of the planet. The black star that is not visible is understood to bring the downfall of the planet, in a frenzy of weather and geological problems, killing off the human race (or reducing it to shambles)

Makes a lot more sense than assuming someone would call 'God' a 'black star deciever'...even satanists view God as 'good and pure' and merely dislike good, pure things, so why would they call him a deceiver which is what they call their master, satan?

Doesn't make much sense, but I could be wrong. If they don't know much about Abrahamic religion, they wouldn't know that so yeah. lol

Song Meaning

This is the most reliable comment, nice! I see it as you. probably the song refers to the Planetary alignment or, in a less specific way, to a Metaphoric eclipse that is the eclipse of Mankind

@justinroane I agree, it is actualy dumb to refer to god as black star (rather than sun for example.). but probably because the name black\dark star has it's known usage
