The overall gist is pretty clear I think. Everything has a bit of heaven and hell in it. Everything's confusion, but don't give up looking for the truth and the answer to life. Most of it is just colourful illustration.
This line is a little unclear, perhaps:
"Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer"
Given that the second part follows to "love", maybe the dancer is representative of Jesus, and the "nobody bleeds for the dancer" therefore as a refutation of the first part would mean that the dancer had to bleed for himself, so it sort of didn't work out that well with love as the answer, but it's still open as one possibility.
I'm not one who randomly interprets every song either as about god, drugs, or girlfriends, but in this case Jesus seemed logical.
Well, and "dancer" because it could be a lyrical paraphrase for a musician's Jesus (whereas the ulotimate musician would of course be god) that's also not so in-your-face and therefore more interesting. (I'm not religious at all, btw., but I wouldn't be surprised if Dio and Tommy Iommi would (have) be(en).)

I'm not a Jesus nut either but that kind of made sense.

Additionally, you can also see Jesus as anyone when suffering, when we suffer we suffer only for ourselves (bleed of ourselves), there's no transcendental value to suffering.

So my interpretation is: Love can be seen as the answer, but if you don't love yourself you're going to have a bad time.
