It's definently millenarians. "Millenarian groups claim that the current society and its rulers are corrupt, unjust, or otherwise wrong. They therefore believe they will be destroyed soon by a powerful force."
Definently fits into the song.
It's pretty much talking about the hipocrisy of the so-called "pious" people, when in reality their actions are only done for reward (you won't see the pious praying - when the world ends). The end of the world is referring to the rapture I believe. Similarly, martyrs think that their actions are going to bring better ways, when in reality they are destructive.
Then it goes into how the people who actually do good, the real saints don't want the rapture to come (the saints who don't want to be found).
Not 100% sure about the last stanza but i'd interpret it two different ways:
1) Although their actions are good, because they aren't the so-called "pious" people they will go to hell and thus they don't want to be found and lose their souls
or
2) The entire idea of the rapture and heaven seems to be something that removes your soul (your identity, freedom etc.) and thus they don't want to be found.
