This sounds to me like a description of a fallen angel/demon. It was "born in a big grey cloud, screaming out a love song..." brought into existence to worship God, taking part in the music that is described as taking place continually in heaven. Now, cast out of heaven, it masquerades as a spirit guide, or... call it what you want. It's there when you need it, if summoning is your thing. It certainly fits with the themes of other songs on Ceremonials.
