The narrator find people who are in desparate need of help and he tells these people "Come to me and I will ease your pain." So the people come to him: and he murders them. At the end of the song, he regrets everything he's done, and he destroys his murder weapon.
This is an incredible song. You wouldn't think synthesziers and folk music would mix very well. The Decemberists make it work masterfully.
