I think chadwick57's interpretation is pretty much spot on, but I wanted to also point out the wordplay of 'Latrine' being a facility for urinating, which I also think provides some imagery regarding the author's distaste for religion.
@2sylbl you are actually on to something there, in the bible and recently proven through historical evidence we know that latrine/toilets were erected at the sites of idol worship as a form of desecration and to profane the idol and ruin the holy site. If you look at ghosts youtube video the lyrics are not spelled the same as the name of the title of the song isntead they have posted the lines like this

in the bowels of the earth hides the pits of hell seems to be saying hell is burried under a pile of shit. (latrines were toiletes that were dug into the ground, like a fancy hole to shit in)
