Cauterize Lyrics

I think it's about Jesus. The first verse is from Jesus' perspective: "I am the chosen, the true son, follow my rule to the word". He is God'd son and the rule is the New Testament.

The chorus is from a Christian person's perspective. "Make us pure again" is in my opinion about penance and forgiveness or Jesus' crucifixion for our sins. "Take the sun and cauterize" is a metaphor for getting baptized in order to start a new chapter of life, one where you try to live without sinning. I am unsure of the rest.
