In that vein I listened carefully to OFTV while reading the lyrics and I came up with this ridiculous hypothesis:
I never really gave that much thought to the lyrics of that song until now. I always got completely caught up in the beauty of the music. Upon careful listening however...I came to the conclusion that it is all about the end times...the main character of the story may be a false prophet...the anti-Christ in other words...but with a twist...contrary to opinion on this entity, he has a conscience.....he knows that he and his followers will be defeated and feels somewhat bad about it, but cannot do anything about it because the apocolyptic prophesy has been prophesized and cannot be changed, even by satan, and he cannot even warn his followers that they will meet their death in the final battle, for it it is written and so it shall be.
As for Rael...as discussed with VOA....we came up with somewhat of a "theory" that Gabriel originally was going to use the more Puerto Rican sounding moniker
Julio for his protagonist
...but Rael had a much more poetic ring to it?
