This song is based on the Mafia code of Omerta (literally "Manhood"), which is the "Code of Silence," meaning that if one is falsely accused of a crime or caught, they will not tell who actually did it: "A slip of the tongue, a slit of the throat" - if you squeal, you will die.
The spoken section in the beginning ("Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward...") is an interpretation of the Omerta code.
The song uses the biblical story of Judas Iscariot's betrayal of Jesus to show the consequences of breaking "omerta"...
