For some reason this song reminds me of Thresh. The lines:

Will you follow me tonight to break their spine

Backstabbed me, deceived me,

Never shall I tolerate their crimes again

7000 souls

Not too long ago, this village was a golden 

scene of hope

15 million souls,

Living in this realm without much hope, Not too long ago, this kingdom was a golden state of hope

All these lines remind me of his backstory of a sadistic jailor who got betrayed and killed by his inmates. All the lines about souls sound like his quest to own souls. The crushing of hope sounds like his idea of fun. The final verse about 15 million souls in a hopeless realm sounds like the souls in his lantern.
