So this is my first post here and first attemp at giving an interpretation so if im wrong feel free to correct me. Here it goes...

Basicaly, in Endseekers, this girl's father stood strong along side god but witnesses god and satan disappear and loses his faith and hope from the abandonment. Then in "The Marriage of Steel and Skin", his daughter is raped and in his pain and anger he seeks revenge and eventualy kills the man who took her innocence. In this song, the daughter realizes her father has lost all control and has taken judgement upon himself. Out of fear and pain, she too loses control and takes his life but falls into regret from the choice shes made but god wants to show her the mercy that she's denied for so long (for she was an aethiest) but she's still in fear and doubt.

And so thats my interpretation.
