I'm not religious myself, but this song might be about losing the moral scale and faith he was tought to follow. "Sword in mouth" is a Christian term for knowing the gospel well and spreading the word. He could be "helpless" in the bond between him and God, because the bible says regardless if you believe in God, he still loves you. Towards the middle-end of the song, he feels guilt (he's turned into a "wolf") and wishes to turn to walk in God's direction. Maybe the perspective is coming from a dying atheist? Lines such as " take our hand and walk us through" or "help us to lay down" suggest that he is seeking forgiveness from his "hell below." Who know's though, I could be off on this one
