The song is written from the perspective of the Devil. Here's the quotes to show how:
Banquet for the dead= hell.
Severed head All dressed up for dinner, looked so fine = hell
The apple in your mouth slipped in mine= contorted reference to Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve
So raise your glasses, here's a toast to wasted lives = what the Devil hopes for
May all their ghost come back to haunt you = what the Devil hopes for
"When the angel of death comes knock, knocking
And banging at your door" = Angel of Death is straight out the Bible
When all the fun was over..Took you "home"..Shot down.. and claimed, mounted and framed= reference to once Devil has led people to have all their "fun" in this life he'll bring them "home" (hell) to have that horrible stuff mentioned happened to them.
Are my dreams your nightmares= Devil's thoughts
Get off your knees, the party's over= Getting of knees means stop praying
