Sorry to break it to you, but Jorn Lande (the other guy singing) plays Mephistopiles in this album, and taking into account the facts that the song preceding this one (What Kind of Love) is essentially the love of Tobi's character's life blatantly rejecting him and that the album only spirals downwards from here until he basically gives up on love, I'd say that this song is basically an approximation of the devil tempting Tobi's character away from anything that could make him happy. Case in point:
"You better taste - they call it life: my special area
I'm breeding winners over there"
"They left you for dead
Turning your head
Away from the living
From flesh and blood"
Avantasia is an anomaly in which you have to look at the lyrics in context to the rest of the album to see where they fit into the story. They're genius.
