Pretty straightforward take on the crucifixion of Christ. That last verse looks like a dismissal of the promises of the crucifixion, but when you take it in the context of all :Rudi:'s work, it's slightly more complicated.
He's got a complicated relationship with religion. He often sounds like he's denouncing it, and probably is sincere. At the same time, lots of lyrics reveal that he is strongly driven by the longings that Christianity claims it can satisfy, not to mention the pains it claims to cure.
So, the last verse may not be him speaking, but may be coming from those who brought about or aided the crucifixion.
