Actually I think this has more of populist political message in it than one of "satan" per se, with the standard Ghost coverings on it as to not break from their personas. Ghost is from Sweden, a pretty socialist country, and I think that this song and the video are them advocating for social, and it could be read as economic, equality. It's about toppling the elites, the ones that have power, wear crowns and gowns, wield scepters and globus crucigers will build their ivory towers so tall that eventually it will fall, and when it does... Well, it's a long, long way down.
Luckily this sort of message does correlate to the message Lucifer was preaching before he was cast out from heaven (to the ground) so Ghost is able to stay in character while writing a song with a much more socially aware message than they have previously
