Peter Murphy must’ve been reading about Thelema. Occult philosophy. In Thelema, the phrase "love is death" represents a concept where the dissolution of the ego and the surrender to a higher power is associated with the Goddess Nuit (ancient Egyptian Sky goddess). Thelema views death as a form of love, where the dying person is dissolved into the eternal kisses of their beloved, the goddess Nuit.
