Maybe I'm totally out of context here, and sometimes there's easy to read a little too much out of a text, making meanings out of lyrics that isn't really in there. But... I think APP are addressing bigger issues in the world today with this song text. I'm myself a believer in a greater good in this world, like that there's a God or whatever you want to call it that looks after us, but also expects us to stick to a couple of basic set of rules, or else... And, we're really not doing that these days, are we? I know I'm not. Atleast not as much as I could be doing. And there's the central message with this song, I think. We ordinary humans are the "apprentices" and servants, while God are the Master/Sorcerer. The "House" is the world. And God are sometimes away, and we just can't help ourselves can we? We just got to make mischief and bad things when our parent isn't looking. So our souls are now "turning cold in the heat of the night". ...or not. Maybe this song is just about a fantasy theme?
It's a good assessment. In accordance to the whole album though, the song serves as foreshadowing for a gambling addiction, as the whole album is somewhat of a concept album which focuses on gambling.
