for some reason i think of a cult leader or some dark, rogue priest. yeah. like satan i guess in milton's paradise lost. someone who has the powers of sight and understanding of some divine truth but at the same time they are jaded and out for themselves. they want to enslave others who were once like him cause to him thats what the game is all about. Like the lyrics are similar to satan's views on god in milton as this guy who is just a tyrant. Satan views himself as a guy who sees the truth of god's ulterior motive and says "you should follow me instead" and says he is fighting for freedom from gods tyrany, but he is really just wanting followers.
in some ways it could also be like a song to his fans. like his groupies are his minions and he is like this dark prophet of the 21st century. and so he feeds off the energy he gets from the tortured souls of his fans. i get this feeling from a few bands' lyrics like muse and also rivers cuomo a little. i think their music is cool, but sometimes i feel like it is a bit draining on the soul...
