Notice the album cover. The cover has lined up crosses and swirls. It's obvious what the crosses represent. In some religious symbolism, the swirl is a symbol for fornication. Notice the title of this song. Exact same pattern as the title. As the lyrics in this album tend to thrive on, the song is about the conflict between human desire and religion. In fact, the lyrics seem to be spoken from the perspective of a man speaking two his original god (sex and fleshly desire) and his new god (God).
The lyrics "I will beg you, I will beg you lord" may be spoken to God, while "I will deny myself, I will deny you lord" may be spoken to sex. The album's theme is conflict, so why wouldn't the song follow the same pattern as the album cover and the title?
