I'm not entirely sure, but I think this song is about how the churches are using religion to make money off their believers, and how their priests take advantage of it to ascend themselves to a higher status. Thus "A sacred cash cow with sickly tits, dripping temptation for hypocrites".
No one of these who preach religion believes in it themselves, they just take advantage of it for their own winnings. ("A legend in his own mind, enthroned by lies") The main character sees through all of these lies and challenges the preachers to show their true face, and he leaves behind what he once believed in, what once gave life, but that is now infested with plague. Too bad this is true in so many cases.
