I like to think it is about a dark mysticism of the forest at night. For example you can tell the song is set in nature (leaves, briars, moss, etc) and it is dark (first line.) I view it like Shakespeare's "A Midsummer's Night Dream" with all the fairies and other mystical stuff in the forest. Instead, these creatures have left the human realm (all references to common man.) Its blasphemous since these creatures are not looked upon highly in modern religion Also, about a lot of sex. All cool.
@x3m0xxl0v3x The Ophelia, formerly known as the HMS Ophelia, is a time-traveling airship stolen by captain Roberts after his bands airplane crashed into the side and killed its captain.
Actually, a lot of ancient rituals involved sex... so probably a bit of both. Based on the rest of their songs, both, with a bit more emphasis on the sex part.
I'm in love with her voice

Well, technically, sex can be considered an ancient ritual in it's own right.
