Description:

In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial, Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hands, And ate of it. I said, "Is it good, friend?" "It is bitter -- bitter", he answered, "But I like it Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart."

i think the desert represents society him eating his heart is him trying to get rid of it. and it being bitter and likeing it is saying that people like things that are simalar to them

You should do Edgar Allen Poe's the raven. You truly are a good narator.

Nope. People always told me I'd be good at it, but I just never pursued it.

This is one of my favorite poems, but there's no need to read it like Slayer lyrics. It's actually much more haunting when read straight forward, it feels much more real, which can be devastating.
