First - I think the person singing is like many have noted - a War Criminal - I think some sort of Dictator - but in any case someone with a lot of power to influence (Burn Books, Remake history with propaganda etc...)
I think it's pretty likely that "The Man" is Satan (I am an agnostic - so I don't usually look to biblical references).
I think the Singer/Protagonist was finally caught (brought to justice) - and he is giving his final confession to a priest (or God) having been turned in by one a Traitor (Judas) who was paid in Silver for betraying him.
The Singer/Protagonist when In the courtyard - about to be executed - and having given his final confession - turns to his betrayer (Judas character) - and in one Final act of Sin (In front of the entire onlooking crowd) - tells his Judas that while Judas may have got his Silver for the betrayal - the Protagonist had Already committed a much worse Sin/Betrayal of having "Relationships - Sex" etc...) with Judas' Daughter who gave him Diamonds - Which he then gave to Judas Wife - Probably the most Painful act of betrayal a human could perform - and proving that Satan is to Big and Strong to be resisted even seconds before the singer dies.
