These are pretty biblical lyrics that seem to relate with the bible's revelation. It states fairly clearly it's about someone who is proud to be "someone to hate" because they stand for their faith and don't give into evil and false idols. It also seems to say they will preach their faith to others no matter what, even with constant persecution. The verse where they say "I will carry the weight" reflects this nicely, since many Christians say they will "carry the weight" like how Jesus carried the weight of the cross.
"I will carry my decree into a storm of lead" seems to say that they will preach their faith even in a "storm of lead", which is commonly a metaphor for a battlefield or storm of bullets firing. In violent areas of the Middle East Christians can easily get shot for their faith.
"All you advocates of Hell, you corruptors of free will
The culling is nigh, better get your fill"
This one seems to be significant in the meaning of the song since it says people who enjoy or are advocates of sin will endure the horrors of "the culling". "Culling" means to select a large population of people, or to reduce a population by slaughtering them. This relates to the tribulation in the bible where most of the population of Earth (the population that is not raptured) will suffer and be slaughtered.
