Yeah, I think of Christ too, mostly because of the mention of spikes through hands and blood turning to wine.
I think it looks at Christ as more of a person rather than a religious figure. His thoughts about having to die for all of mankind even though he doesn't want to and they don't deserve it. His struggle to be perfect, to deny himself feelings that are considered sinful - such as anger and pride.
On another note, this song kicks ass. Easily my favorite off the amazing album, along with Albatross and Pearls Before Swine. I love the lyrics of the second chorus.
