Like most of the songs on this album, it's about a famous fantasy series, in this case Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone series, about an angsty albino emperor who wields Stormbringer, a demonic sword that provides him incredible strength by devouring the souls of people it hits.
When the lyrics refer to "A dark sword / A black soul / My soulmate gets near /
Deceiver / Deceiver" and "It's your blood I desire / The last soul I require / Right after all the damage will be done" it's probably talking about how the sword eventually betrays and kills him, as well as everyone he loves.
