This song, as Strnad said himself, is about "jesus not existing, and you will all be dead in the dirt an loving it". With that said, the song probably takes place in the crusades because of the line "countless the slaughtered in your name", which obviously refers to a holy war. The narrator seems to be a poor peasant who feels his bad luck is from God not being satisfied with his life. He decides to fight in the crusades, probably as a way to gain God's good will, with the promise "I shall bloody my hands 'til the last breath be torn from me". Fighting in the war only makes him feel more hopeless about life when he sees all the death and agony caused by the war. In desperation he cries out for god to end the war by destroying the enemy, who presumably believe in the false religion. Obviously nothing happens, and after witnessing people die in the name of his religion without any help of God, he loses all hope in his religion, saying ironically that the afterlife that he now looks forward to is his ultimate death in the ground, where he will join his fallen comrades in the "necropolis".

My Interpretation

Oie, Jesus lives, he's my best friend!

He's my best friend too! Although we call each other BFF's since we're just a couple of goof balls.
