Anyone toying with the notion that this song is about the Second Coming?
After all, the Christian faith isn't the only religion awaiting a messiah of sorts. Would we see everyone attempt to hijack the appearance/or reappearance of an exceptional human being? I imagine a Jesus like character tearing into Wall Street, religious leaders and world leaders, but Tool may have used these ideas just as inspiration. A just man or woman

EDIT:
"Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance,
(With the) burden of proof tossed upon the believers.
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
Judith Marie...
Unconditional one."

It's a play on words. The believers + Non-believers
And following... "You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
Judith Marie, unconditional one." To be able to believe
