My Interpretation

I see this as being applauded by the act of genocide which no matter who does it is a crime against mankind. The lyrics give me the feeling of a disregard for humanity from god. This rings true for me when he signs 'Shake my head Turn my face to the floor Dead to respect To respect to be born Lest we forget who lay' A person shakes their head and faces down when disgusted by an act of inhumanity such as the Holocaust. This song is referring to the story of Noah's ark which to me, is Hitler's dream realized by a sociopath.
