Fan Theories:

Bernard was apparently talking about Charles Manson and his followers in this song.

 It makes sense as Manson believed he was an incarnation of Christ, and lead his followers to believe the same. In short he made his cult believe that the world was going to turn into chaos as the blacks were going to try and overtake the whites and a huge war was going to break out destroying life as we know it, yet his 'family' would hide out somewhere were no one would ever find them, and return to the world many many years later. The Beatles album 'white' apparently had a lot to do with his theory. So he spoke words of 'love' to his followers, that he was there to save the human race, etc etc, however he planned and demanded horrible bloody murders, including that of actress Sharon Tate. Though he did not actually commit the murders, he was behind them all, hence the 'blood on (his) hands'. Also, while on trial Manson's followers carved crosses into their heads.

Lyrics:

And you'll be there to break my fall
To reassure my doubts and faults
And all your fables will ring true
They are the lies you lean on too

There's love on your breath
I'd better not say
About the blood on your hands

You hold the future in your hands
And sullen eyes soothe and command
A graceful mouth your deadly tool
Too bad the truth has fallen through

There's love on your breath
I'd better not say
About the blood on your hands

The incarnation of a Christ
Manipulation

There's love on your breath
I'd better not say
About the blood on your hands

The cross on your head
What does that say
About the blood on your hands
