"I wield the true all-seeing eye
My vision digitized and bright despite the veil of night
Those really people on my screen?
They run around and panic in between places to hide,"
Night vision screen with people running to hide, singer is pilot of drone. pretty clear.
"Run, run away, or remain with the ones
with nowhere to go as The Sky falls to Earth"
There's no place to hide from missiles from above. Sky falling to earth means missile rain that destroys everything.
"Stay down if once you have fallen - it's all coming down,
The world ends and fades out
Stay down if once you have fallen to the ground
Can you hear the sound of a demon in search of its prey?"
If you fall to ground, play dead, even when you don't have chance anyways. Can you hear sound of the drone flying above?
"I long to give them all a taste,
a sudden breath of hellfire raised to send them all away
A few more souls to make my day"
Self-explaining. The drone pilot lets "them" to taste the power of hellfire missiles (drones' missiles are called hellfires, even clearer). Few more kills would make pilots day (and maybe get him a medal or something)
"As I burn down and murder, I know that God forgives
'Spite all the things I've done my soul yet forever lives
And all those caught in the shadow of my wings have cause to fear
I swear on all I've done, no evil shall linger here"
Pretty clear too. All the death and destruction caused by drones is forgiven for "fight for freedom and democracy", and the ones who control drones and murder are still the heroes of war.
clearly at least about waging war using superior technology and justifying the slaughter with self-righteous patriotic religious nonsense. The drone references are pretty solid. Could hardly be clearer.

it's about drone strikes.

So that's my interpretation, hope you like.
