I know this song is about the novels of Tad Williams, and you could call me mad; but I really think that this song refers to a pure role-playing game's NPC who is being paranoid about the Master of the game =P
"They rule the land
They're in command
They hold all strings in hand
"They rule the land
They're in command
They hold all strings in hand
They are invisible
Out of sight
They've designed a secret place to play their games
A world they're in control
They are invisible
Out of sight
They've designed a secret place to play their games
A world they're in control
Divine law
Divine law
" - either a game Master or a player starting a new game (in a procedural world or choosing their quests or generating a map). For an NPC or even a videogame controllable character, the player or game master is like a god...

"You're part of the game
You're slave to the grind" - what else would you do in an RPG videogame?? grinding some loot and XP!!
"Now I know you
Understand this world is not true
Nothing is real
Nothing at all
It's bits and pieces
We walk through" - NPC or the actual player character realizing they're actually in a virtual world... made of "bits": 0s and 1s...
"You've crossed the line
You've reached the end" - beating the final boss/finishing the last quest.... game over!
and as a bonus, the Elder Scrolls IV "Oblivion" was released before this song, so you could pretend this song is about TES: Oblivion (just for fun...)
