Historical more than political, the lyric notes that there's always a scoundrel waiting for the right or wrong monent to become an authoritarian.

lyrics

King Of Your Despair

I saw the door, turns out I have an open invitation
You wanted more, I gave you rope enough to hang your children
I gave you matches then you burned the building

Turn back the time, I been your bad guy all along
I gave the sign, you formed a line and tagged along

I'm still here, I'm the king of your despair
I'm still here, I'm the devil, take the dare

Don't look now, I'm in the shadows just beneath the surface
You take the vow, I load your gun and watch you pull the trigger
I call the shots, I know that you'll deliver

Time after time, I've sent your children off to war
You cross that line, I'll scorch the fields, I'll wield my sword

I'm still here, I'm the king of your despair
I'm still here, I'm the devil, take the dare
