i believe this song is far less pleasant then you guys make it sound, the lines (Listen to the chorus, so divine and unkind) suggest that angels are quite unhappy with their new kings (us since again, in the bible we are said to be higher up on the hierarchy) and will take vengeance upon us. the lines (the lesser lights of heaven cast crowns upon your throne dissapate into nothing, we truly are alone,) support this idea i think as well. lastly, the very last lines of the song (can we survive this?) suggest they have commenced their attack and humanity is royally screwed.
