This is surely the most enigmatic, mysterious song ever written by Judas Priest. That may not sound like it's saying much but it certainly contains very enigmatic lyrics (the song is beautiful too). It's kind of too easy to say a song is about drugs but this very much seems like it is, it mentions many strange effects that drugs may cause. The 'dreamer deceiver' could easily be a drug because he is deceiving the protagonist into believing he is dreaming. In reality he is tripping, and he is bound to not be where he thinks he is...he's been fooled.
'No matter how we tried, everyone was in peace of mind'...perhaps an attempt to break out of this stupor that's failed? Instead he's taken to a place of false security and then it's too late, he can't escape...
'We are lost above
Floating way up high
If you think you can find a way
You can surely try'
^ He's now caught in this state thanks to being deceived by the drugs/dreamer deceiver.
At least my interpretation as someone that doesn't like drugs so much.
