You could just use

Two things:

I think your intro is too long. Most intros shouldn't be longer than say 10-15 seconds, or people tend to get uninterested in what the video has to offer.

Secondly, I think the "disclaimer" at the beginning was also unnecessary. Okay, it's not supposed to be a slash video, we get it. I think making a big deal about it is only going to draw more attention to the subtextual elements in your video/the show (and believe me, people who want to see them will see them, whether you approve of it or not). It also makes you seem a little homophobic, and that's sort of sad because I'm sure you didn't want to come across that way, right?

As just a general critique, I think the editing could have been tightened a lot. If you were going for a lyric synch, I didn't see it through most of the video. There also wasn't much beat-synch, and so the whole thing seemed pretty disjointed.

I understand the overall concept of what you were going for, and thank you for not using just another heavy-metal song, because Berserk vids with that kind of music are really a-dime-a-dozen. You took a big risk and that's definitely commendable. I would say just work on tightening up your editing and making sure your scene choices make sense and flow with the video. And don't worry about what other people are going to read into it :) Just worry about putting across the concept that you're interested in and enjoy what you're doing.
