Neither of you are correct. This song, in blunt terms, is about Lucifer. Satan has an astrological connection with the "sun of man", Jupiter. Lucifer as the subject of the song would also explain the reference to Lucifer's origins as an angel at the left hand of the Christian God. Draakdier's analysis of that specific line was also incorrect. Satan brings balance to the world of man through his "evil" influence, because before his involvement with the human race, those able to conceive the concept of evil were Lillith, God and other creations of his that were inhuman. Perdition you can look up for yourself. Satan most definitely transgressed from nothingness, in more than a couple senses, and came unto his highest self by finding true freedom outside of the domain of "God". This song doesn't have much of anything to do with Babylonian paganism. The Heraclitus (a Greek philosopher) reference plays with the idea of misanthropy, not paganism or false religion or anything of that sort. Satan is an iconoclast of divine origin and the pulse of existence in that, after his clash with "God" and subsequent banishment from heaven, he became that which balanced "nature", as I explained before.
