For me it is cristal clear that he is talking about Lucifer and his demons. \n\n"Forgotten in his reich of shadows\nBanned forever"\n\nLucifer was banned forever from heaven and locked in hell or in the abyss.\n\n"Enticement and promise will crown the king\nA puppet on a string\nFor a thousand years\nSo they sing"\n\n"The damnation, the annihilation" \n\n"Ages of fire - Aeon of darkness, fear and hate"\n\nThe Bible says Jesus will rule a reign with his saints of peace for a thousand years. Some authors argue that this reign will take place on earth, whereas for some others this reign will happen in heaven. In this case, one might argue that, while Jesus reigns in heaven, Lucifer will reign on earth. A reing of chaos, as depicted in the song. An Aeon of darkness.\n\n"Wouldn\'t it be nice to plunder with your eyes\nWhatever there\'s for you to see\nIs yours to be\nLet me be there\nJust tell me You don\'t care\nJust say You pay me after life\nHowever high the price\nI know your secrets\nI know it all"\n\nIt is the ultimate temptation: to do as you will, as you desire, to be free "to plunder", was mentioned in the song; but most people fear the condemnation for their sins, so he points out: just pay me after life. And he claims to know your secrets, and he is right. Lucifer is always behind you to try to make you fall.\n\n"Release me"\n"Just be my human hand"\n\nAs Lucifer and his demons are locked in the Abyss, your human hand can be useful to free them, for example, with magic, sacrifices and rituals, to help them bring their reign of darkness and chaos. \n\n"Just say you want to share\nA power no one will withstand"\n\nAnd Lucifer tries to manipuate you by means of promesing you a power no one will withstand.
