This is one of my favorite songs. The opening verse sounds really dark with the use of electronics on the clean vocals.
As for the meaning, it's rooted in Greek mythos. Charon was the oarsman for the boat that traversed the river Styx and in order to board one had to pay a coin. "fear becoming belief" refers to those who finally realize they have to pay to pass and can't, so the hundred year disease refers to the idea that those who couldn't pay were said to walk the shores of the river for 100 years.
