The Cathars! What a nice name for that middle-age movement considered the true Christians (cathar in greek mean "pure one(s)"). It's very important to mention that this was a dualist movement which means they considered that both Good and Evil existed (the good being the spiritual and the evil, the physical)

The song is about a Cathar singing about the reality of the world. He is praying for (the good) God to come back ("Won't you come back now?", "You hear my prayer") because the world (or empire) became corrupted ("black") and the hands of the devil (the bad God [maybe through the Church]) are holding the empire. So the Cathars were waiting for the good God to come back and spiritualize the world.

Thus the title of the song: "Cathar Rhythm", the rhythm that their hearts vibrated, their thoughts ( e.g. duality) and energy.
