At this point in the album, our protagonist's soul is in the body of Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin.
Rasputin was murdered by a group of envious noblemen led Prince Felix Yussupov in Yussupov's Moika Palace on the night of December 28/29 1916. Yussupov told Rasputin that his wife, Princess Irina would be present at his palace. Rasputin, who was attracted to the Princess, accepted. The conspiriters led Rasputin to the celler where he was presented with the infamous cyanide laced wine and cakes. The conspirters knew of Rasputin's love for sweets and assumed that the massive ammount of poison in the desserts would kill the monk. It is theroized that Rasputin drank small ammounts of cyanide daily so he would have an ammunity to this form of assassination. Hence the lines "enemies posion deep within my second sight Waisting valuable time"
