i think this is about the Jewish people who, in the time of Jesus being crucified, actually wanted him to be crucified even though he was their prophesied savior. then, after Jesus was put into the tomb, they denied that Jesus was their savior and till this day still await the son of god.
what this song is saying, in my opinion, is face it you killed your savior and he is long gone
"The one you hope for, the one you wait for
Lies in a long forgotten tomb
Condemned and murdered
Revealed and tortured
We have killed him, you and I"
and because you have killed him and wont accept why he died
"A deed that's just too great for us
There is no atonement
And no forgiveness there will be"
