Actually i completely agree with you Sleeptones. When i first heard the song, prior to seeing the video, i thought it was about like love or something. Maybe for some1 he lost. But after seeing the video, the song has a whole different meaning than what i thought.
"Come back to me its almost easy"(the devil trying to sway back those he lost), henceforth ppl are coming back to him and jumping into hell willingly. "Shame pulses through my heart, from the things i've done to you, its hard to face, but the fact remains that this is nothing new"(ppl know that in the religious battle, siding with the devil will eventually lead to a life of eternal torture and pain, yet its nothing new to them as they know what they are doing and do it anyways. "Now that I’ve lost you it kill me to say(Hurts to say) , I try to hold on as you slowly slip away. I’m losing the fight. I treated you so wrong, now let me make it right. (Make it all right",.. (in the bible, the devil is destined to lose against God,...to sway ppl back to him even tho he's hurt them, he will grant something to them. Its kinda like when you hear ppl say they sold their soul to the devil for something, whether it be fame, or who knows. So the devil will make it right, even if for a brief time period and eventually turn back to screwing you over,...thats why he keeps saying Come back to me its almost easy),...."I let you down inside with suicidal memories, Selfish beneath the skin, But deep inside I'm not insane." (another example of the devil hurting ppl and being selfish in his ways to sway more ppl to join him in hell,..but yet feels deep inside he's not insane)
Well, thats what i came up with as my theory of what the video is about. When i first heard the song, i thought, finally, avenged sevenfold isnt quoting the bible and making more personal music, but they are still using their biblical and religious references. Thats who they are though, great music, but u have to definately listen to it with open eyese and ears, especially if u personally dont agree with anything they are saying. And i thought the song was about like some1 he loved or something. But After seeing the video, if u really put together the lyrics and video it makes sense, and i think that the song is almost exactly like my theory.
I'm not saying I disagree with you. I think your interpretation is wonderful, but just because A7x has a history of using religious megaphors and references doesn't mean they are limited to it.

If their video for Dear God was similar to Almost Easy, would you say "I thought this was about love, but now after watching the video I see it's about the devil mocking him"?

I wouldn't.

I think it's very possible this song could have both or either meanings, but don'tlet your original interpretation be altered because of a music video. Many artists make music videos that have nothing to do with the song's actual meaning. When I saw the video, I thought of Coheed and Cambria who have a storyline for their songs, but make off-the-wall music videos that mostly have nothing to do with the sotriy or theories of the story for that matter.
Either way, I like your interpretation but I'll stick with your firsty thoughts on it. They were mine too. They sound like someone who regrets treating another badly (doesn't have to be romantic), but not wanting them to leave.
@DaArtist401
you were right the first time, it is actually about the loss of someone that was so deep and so painful, that it feels like you are insane and that you are in a living hell.

@DaArtist401 Actually, the devil is really just the angel that was meant to test people of their faith. The song is more about a kid that lost his mother and his last words were something along the lines of I don't want to be around you or I hate you. Good theory though.
