To further add, i believe that the band is saying that it is not enough to hate the world and its erroneous ways, but that one must learn from that and channel that hatred into something progressive, otherwise we are no better than those we hate.
"Preserve life through loathing.
Awaken hope within hatred.
Wrest insight from outrage."
Use your emotion to better yourself and the world.
They are also saying that there is a conflict between outright hatred for man and a desire to see man improve himself. First, they comment on man and his flaws:
"To distort the truth, to serve itself,
to oppose understanding:
I believe in man.
Man will maintain its hostility.
Have this faith."
But, even after all that, we as humans are still drawn to help our fellow man:
"Conflict in the chest,
To be concerned for the needs of such heartless men."
This song is so powerful to me and really matches my outlook on life to great music.
