Assuming you understood that this 3 part song is about Elizabeth Bathory, in this song she is in her prime, killing virgin servant girls and going insane with power.

Note well though, this entire song is addressed to Elizabeth's mother. Elizabeth knows she is sinning and wants to feel better about her actions, so she seeks the embrace of her mother.

However, "your blood preserves my place in time" makes it somewhat clear that Elizabeth ends up killing her mother and the next song is about dealing with the consequences of killing a noble, including: prison!
