'SHIT LYRICS', are you kidding me?! This is a great track. In my opinion, written about religion in general, how it offers empty promises, how people follow it blindly into war and without question, how people can justify their acts through their beliefs. The use of the brainwashed school children's voices is really clever and sounds really sinister, using fear to keep everyone in line, 'believe in me and you'll go the heaven, if not, you'll go to hell'. Happiness is easy ! "Take good care of what the priests say, 'After death it's so much fun', this could convey that you may be held back by your beliefs throughout life, afterall you're going to heaven when you die !
my take on the childrens' voices is a little different from yours as well. i dunno if haunting is really on point. it seems that any real 'child' of the teachings of christ would say things like 'Joy be written upon the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love', a beautiful message that gets tainted with ulterior motives by adults who 'let their feet stray'.

now, i'm certainly not calling the lyricist a christian, and i'm certainly not calling myself one, just my take on the meaning on that aspect of the song.
