It's another song about the senseless of religion, I believe.
Narcosynthesis is sythesised (false) sleep. Being drugged, or hypnotised, in other words.
The band is using narcosynthesis as an analogy for society under the grip of religion, which leaves the believers constantly searching for something they will never find.
If you don't believe me, then come on, take a look at the lyrics - "we are the last ones and we're bleeding for an unseen god". In other words, we're asleep, being fed lies by the organised church.
Other religious imagery - "crucify your ideals", or in other words, act as a martyr for the sake of your morals, and force them on others. "Vilipend and amend the sins you condign" - in other words they are saying that the church acts hypocritically and preaches about the evil of the sins that the church itself deserves to be punished for.
