I think its about hope, and good things coming from dropping religion.

I am the master of the game that made a fool of you I'm watching from the highest tower You got the aura to enchant them - and a symphony And I have got the power

You better taste - they call it life: my special area I'm breeding winners over there (yeah) Ain't it a sin to turn your back On what you re given It's time to take your share

Taste life, live it. Don't be bound by silly made-up laws. Also it means from the third line, that if God had made something for you, why not take it?

God left me for dead I've been turning my head Away from the living the time has come To gamble for gain To tear down the gate And see what's inside

He's been paying more attention to religion than real things.

We rock the ball! Been smashed to the ground Arose from devotion To take a look and see what is inside Sight of the crown: Another angel down (oooh)

"Been smashed to the ground" is essentially "Coming down-to-Earth. Hard." He then, since coming down to Earth, arose from religion (gave it up, is better without it) and looked at what it really was. (Lies that keep you from your full potential enjoyment of life).

There's no tomorrow I don't remember yesterday I'm just living for tonight And all the love I'm not gonna waste No more: I won't, spill what's divine!

Tomorrow and Yesterday represent "Other lives" ex. " I was a pirate in my past life, and I hope I can be a (something) in my next one!"

They left you for dead Turning your head Away form the living From flesh and blood You've got the draw and desire to claw For fortune and fame

This sums up most of the points made in the song. Religion stopping you from seeing reality, and how it stops you from, your full potential.

"Another Angel Down" means that another person has dropped religion. (Angel representing a religious person).
