When I read the lyrics to this, I immediately thought of one thing; organized religion. It's saying how religious leaders use their position and power to manipulate people and to get what they want.
"A rapist of the truth, adapting it to fit my cause"
I think this line in particular talks about how so many higher-ups in the catholic church molest the words of the bible, and tweak them to justify their own actions and desires. For instance, the abuse of dogma, and the whole paying the church to atone for dead relatives in purgatory. It's all manipulation and scheming.
In short, they're saying organized religion sucks. And I agree 110%!
