It's not like it's a nice eulogy. It's Maynard's way of pointing out how ridiculous Christianity is. (by writing a eulogy to the man who started it all.) There was a man named Jesus who lived 2000 years ago and claimed to be the son of God. Half the reason Christianity has been such an influence throughout history is because people are weak and unable to take a stand for themselves. (Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.) When a strong leader took a stand for the crowd, while claiming to be the son of an all powerful being, and being a martyr all at the same time, people loved him. The following he had was then written about and then twisted throughout the years to suit the purpose of religious leaders. (a very common Tool topic.)

And I'm sure Maynard "believes" (semantics point) in Christianity. (it's effects on the world are quite apparent.) Chances are he just doesn't believe in the omnipotent god that Christianity claims exists. And if he doesn't believe in this Christian God, he doesn't believe Jesus was the son of God. That's why a eulogy such as this to this man is really quite appropriate for Tool. (Or, maybe he really does believe in the omnipotent god that Christianity claims exists and his issue is with the religious leaders, which is obvious through Opiate and other things he's said. But I believe this Eulogy for Jesus proves otherwise.)

Another comment on the sounds at the beginning. Jesus was a carpenter. So that's another link to the sound of nails and a saw.
