I'v e researched this a bit. This song has a very profound meaning. Khatru supposedly means "Your will be done" in Yemeni. I haven't found that.
It is a word used for a feminist writing group from the 50s - 70s. Anderson is talking about the life of Christ and
how the message goes all over the world, reaching even the most remote places like Siberia. It talks about how it has changed over time (gold stainless nail, torn through the distance of man) and even includes references to Islam (moongate climber). He's talking about how it was nurtured and kept alive by women under the nose of the cold hearted king. And, with the help of the apostles (Shelter the women who sing, as they produce the movement).
Sure, some of the lyrics are impenetrable, but the metaphor is the same. Please, actually read the lyrics.
@Beach Bum what does "moongate climber" have to do with Islam? A moon gate is an architectural element in Chinese gardens, and the climber is presumably ivy covering it- possibly the same ivy whose green leaves reveal the heartspoken khatru. I couldn't find anything on google that would relate the phrase to Islam.

That's even stupider than people's explanations of Kubrick's 2001.
