Looking at the line "I am someone to hate." who is "I Am."? Jesus is.
Jesus is popularly portrayed as a a warm fuzzy icon of progressive tolerance. He is not. This Jesus is the one who will charge Megiddo valley and single-handedly slaughter so many millions of people the valley will flow with blood up to a horses neck.
So His weapons are indeed washed in blood as he carries his decree of final judgement into a storm of lead. The lead, btw, matters not to the one who has conquered death.
This also explains the first verse. Jesus is not only a figure for the closing of time, but he is also the divine antagonist to sin and deceit.
Jesus is not some precious moments hippie, Jesus is a warrior who went to the cross to fight his enemy, one we had no hope of defeating. He went as our champion. Read the description of Jesus given in Revelation 1. Does that sound like a tree hugging, soft spoken, overly tolerant guy? Or does that sound like a patient warrior ready to unleash wrath on His enemies?
Tolkien had it right, Jesus is Aslan, a wild and powerful lion who will devour the enemy. This song is about the real Jesus.
