This bit sounds like observations of humans in the mindvault, some who are obviously alive and scared out of their minds...

slither down the shaft

A bold invitation to enter the machine complex? Imagine hearing an Overlord wispering this as your forces enter the maze...

A reference to the Matrix observing intruding enemies via cameras or machine units visual feedback... and an almost personal reference to a Nachtmacher fading out...

I love this bit in the song - very catchy phrase. 'Sterilize all contact points' could be a euphemism for employing chemical weapons, especially with the 'dirty poison oxygen' part in there.
And I like the reference to Shiva too, it could be interpreted as the Matrix discovering the concept of Shiva from someone in the mindvaults & identifying with either the concept of Shiva as a destroyer or as the transformer; "the One who purifies everyone by the very utterance of His name."

And a nice ending where the Matrix Entity decides to dissect some living specimens...
Obviously FLA didn't write this to suit
LoS, but man - it works as a cool interpretation of the lyrics, doesn't it?
