This song describes the priest-turned-judge that the album follows. After the "death" of God, He becomes a judge out of good intentions to pass judgement on those who take advantage of others, as he believes God to be dead, and therefore there is no longer a punishment for the wrong-doers of the world.
His daughter (who the album also follows) get raped and the rest of the song is description of how the judge will pass judgement to the rapist. Especially important to this song is how the judge is eager to pass cruel and brutal judgement. Later in the album, this is addressed by the remaining Christians and God.
