I love how the lyrics have a double meaning: firstly they are tied to the overarching concept of the album about empires. The narrator is luring the listener to help him build his empire on the expense of other people's suffering, lying to them about "being their rock". At the same time the listener is granted a higher position in the newly formed hierarchy. My second interpretation, however, is that this is basically a song praising Satan once again and he's the one giving all the promises. Especially talking about sitting by the pyre and how he is referred to as "the greatest deceiver" point in that direction.

Good analysis. Forge mentioned in an interview that the song is about Mike Pence. A man who claims to be righteous, yet served as the lapdog for the least righteous person to ever hold office.
