Basically he is saying he is God, hence the title "Megalomania" which is a disorder that entails believing yourself to be greater than any other person alive. Logically God is above all those alive and thus he is God in this song. The Chorus "take off your mask, i know that underneath it's me" is him saying exactly that.
Also the lines about paradise, are about how he refuses to obey the rules of the church to get in to heaven. the price are the rules and paradise is heaven
the lines "they'll grow up and break the laws you love" talk about us, being mankind. he is saying that we'll grow up and turn into sinful adults
"useless device, it won't suffice
i want a new game to play
when i am gone
it won't be long, before i disturb you in the dark"
this is about how he is bored with religion and wont "play" along, he wants to do something else. the third and fourth lines are about when he dies, he'll be proven right. he is saying he will haunt God but seeing as god doesn't exist, there will be no-one to haunt
