The song IS about Christ form what I gather, it would be pretty blasphemous to say that anyone else "is alive and reigns forever". Anyhow, that line kind of irked me too, but I think he's saying that Jesus was never dead in the sense that even when He died his purpose lived on. It could also be argued that the Father and Spirit were still alive during Jesus' death, and in a sense God can never truly "die". I think that overall Wisdom meant that Jesus never died on a symbolic level. Think of it as how Jesus said that Lazarus wasn't really dead but "only sleeping". And also in the first "chorus" section of the song Wisdom says "I watched Him DIE" so clearly it's just a slight contradiction in the lyrics. I'm sure if you were to ask BTA themselves, they would say that they do, in fact, believe that Jesus died. Jesus not only died, but he went to Hell. After three days in combat with Satan, he broke free. It's all in the good book.

When the Bible says He died, it means his body died. Obviously the spirit did not die. The lyrics refer to that spiritual life.
