This song is definitely about prescription drugs. I mean, he uses the word "prescribe" in the song...how much more obvious can you get?
"Those without the faith" would be those who are not "normal" per se; the depressed, the psychotic, the imbalanced.
I'm not sure what "A hero holding a knife and blood is not enough" means. I suppose the hero could be someone who rejects mind-altering drugs, legal or illegal, and "self-medicates" by self-mutilation. The fact that it isn't enough may indicate that he's still spiralling into his insanities.
The second verse on this site is totally wrong. I quote from www.qotsa.com:
Let's see if I'm hearing this right
You suggest I should take
A never-ending supply
To carry out the dead
Your idols burn in the fire
The mob comes crawling up
I'm reclaiming my mind
Destroying everyone
