okay, the first 4 lines are talking about trying to become perfect, and trying to say that you're better because you're supposedly Christian.
"Til death do you wrong" refers to how some believe we become perfect in death, and only in death.
"Patients bother a patient doctor" mortals pray to God for change in the stead of taking it upon themselves.
"it would take a masochist to live like this" talking about how we constantly put our selves down to move forward.
"ignorance is divine" that's soooo obvious and only proves my point, they're speaking out against religion.
"Instincts are reduced to teeth,
That bite the hand that feeds.
Fear thy father love thy martyr." it's talking about how the religious types say 'we sin against god, fear him and love those who die for him'
I'm unclear on the next stanza, but I think it's talking about how the religious convict others, even though the bible clearly states "only god can judge"
"sound the alarm and make no mistake about this" = 'this is your warning'
"All the king's horses and all the king's men
Have been sent to put this boy back
Together again, but somehow,
He must have been predicting the fall..." someone turning from god with every intention to do so, whom the religious can't 'help' as they see fit.
"Caged rats, experiments," they are god's lab rats
A brain with no oxygen." they don't think for ourselves.
Release all the hostages," some are starting to free their minds
You've got to wash your hands of this..." you've got to think differently
