In Greek mythology Prometheus was a thief of fire who stole fire from Olympus to benefit mankind and was punished for this act of defiance. So I think it follows that this song is about someone who defies authority to help people and finds himself alone and without support when he is punished because everyone else just goes along with the corrupt authority figures. The words get confusing towards the end, but I think this is the gist of it.
