I think it could be about how religious people tend to be hypocritical. Like, these high Christian people think they're great, and though their religion says they should be helping sinners, they don't. They judge them and avoid them, throwing them bread but not really helping them overcome their 'problems.' If St. Rollox is a church and the person kissed it adieu, in other words they left the church/religion. They took up stealing and became 'the Fallen,' which I took to mean someone fallen from society. They were no longer accepted by the religious people or the rich people. Kunst means art in German, not really sure what it means in context with the song. I think the song is saying that these fallen people are really the ones who are right. They don't judge someone because they live differently or because of religious differences. Perhaps if god or christ viewed from the eyes of the fallen, the people who hadn't helped them would be damned. Idk if this is right, but...yeah.

Or maybe it's how religious people look at people like you as hypocrites. Depends on which side you're on I suppose.
