I agree with RadioactiveQuackery about the first verse, but his idea about this verse, "hold her dirty hands over the flames getting pleasure from the pain softly screaming the pistol that she raised has spoken," I disagree with. I think that It says, "Hold YOUR dirty hands over the flames getting pleasure from the pain softly screaming the pistol that YOU raised has spoken." I think that this verse is talking about him taking his own life, "the pistol that you raised has spoken" is referring to the person shooting himself.
