No, it really isn't about that the mafia code, in anything other than the name.
The speach at the start is just a cool intro. It really has little meaning other than the idea that if you are going to fuck with someone, you had better kill them, cause anything less, will just make them angry and they will come back at you, twice as hard.
The lyrics are obviously about Judas Iscariot, and the way his name has become synonamous(sp), with betrayal.
Every line is an obvious referance to the story of Judas.
"you've been talking, I've been all ears" is about how dispite all that he had seen and heard, he still chose greed over Jesus' love.
"Words meant to dwell in darkness shall never see the light of day", is kind of the same as the previous quote, it just makes the point, that Jesus's words ultimatly counted for nothing to Judas.
"Execute the mandate", I believe is in referance, to the speach Jesus gave, about how 'it would be better for the one who betrayes me, if he had never been born', and this is Judas saying, fair enough, if thats the way it has to be, then so be it...
"I am the result, what's better left unspoken" talks about how despite all the good that came from Jesus' words, there was still the 'bad apple' in the bunch, but we prefer to forget about him.
(my personal, favorite line in the song):
"Mouth full of dirt, your name removed from the registry, St. Peter greets with empty eyes then turns and locks the gates" - Judas was buried in an unmarked grave (hense the 'mouth full of dirt' and the other line "six feet under with no marker") and because he killed himself, he was eternally damned.
There is nothing in this song, other than the title and possibly the line "six feet under with no marker", to suggest that this song is actually about the code of silence.
Actually, the intro is a combination of the code of omerta and the code of honor. Look it up on wikipedia if you doubt me. Just thought Id clear it up for you. STAY METAL!
