I'm pretty sure this song is about the Third Reich, AKA Nazi Germany ruled by Adolf Hitler. Why? Just look:
"Forgotten in his reich of shadows"
Reich - pretty obvious; there are English words with the same meaning but still they used German word.
"The lord of the evil"
So we have evil dude... most people see Hitler as one of the vilest individuals in the human history.
"A puppet on a string"
While Hitler was more than a puppet, his 'trusted' advisors and military leaders held a lot of power. They just needed his charisma to inspire common people to fight and die.
"For a thousand years"
Hitler promised that Third Reich will last for 1000 years.
Later in the song there are multiple of references to annihilation, executions, fear, greed, hate and obsession - all of these fit the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler perfectly.
