The song lyrics seem to be from a heroin addict/dealers perspective. The references to the needle and killing pain. Dirt is a street term for heroin so his Empire of Dirt could symbolize his drug business or all the dope hes wasted money on and done. He talks about his crown of thorns and liars chair which could symbolize all the mental and physical pain hes afflicted on other people and himself because of the drug.
I like how the abstract can be interpreted in so many ways. I never knew that dirt was a term for heroin. I think of the Empire of Dirt as being a way of looking back on one's accomplishments over a lifetime and seeing them as worthless.
