This song is about the struggle of Lucifer and God and how, like Surt in Norse Mythology that licks the different planes in flames, the Devil takes over heaven and kills God: "So deny God's light and His words spoken...We regain Heaven and crush His skull wide open!" When it means "The Tyrant" I think it means from the perspective of Satan in terms of his nemesis God.
"I've cried a river for you to swim to let you know the state we're in.
I've dreamt a vision for you to see He's dreamt a vision for us to see,
that the night is the only worthy key that night is the worthy key...
Also I think the angels in this, while are servants of God, they see the actions of what's about to happen.
"I've cried a river for you to swim,
to let you know the state we're in.
I've sent a message throughout the stars,
He's sent a message throughout the stars,
for His kingdom is full of scars.
God's kingdom is full of scars.
(and the sound of silent cries is heard throughout the skies)"
^^^This is the plea sent throughout the universe to make it apparent to anyone listening that God is truly dead and the cosmos is beyond help or retribution. So the only thing left for the angels to do is cry and reflect on what God was.
