Great song. The meaning of it is pretty straightforward; Jesus got killed and that's a good thing. Most of it doesn't need any explaining, but I'll go into a little detail on the various pagan gods he invokes.
Mithras was a god of a Roman mystery religion. He was sometimes viewed as the adversary of Christ as the two religions shared many similarities at the same. This is probably why he is invoked in a song celebrating the death of Christ.
Sekhmet was an Egyptian warrior goddess. She was believed to be the creator of the desert and is said to have led the Pharaohs into battle. She is a manifestation of the sun's scorching rays.
Mut was believed to be the Queen of all the Egyptian goddesses, and the female counterpart to the cheif god, Ra
Ma'at is the Egyptian principle of law, order and morality. Invoking it in this song seems to say that Christ was a transgression on the already established pagan order of the world, an interesting thought.
