from a post up high" could be about how these people are watching the people they control.
"if you are the light post,
then you own the working class" I think the lightpost symbolizes the group who created the religion, it gives a guidinglight, but you can't see where it guides you. Also, the light was created by man, it isn't a natural light. The working class could be the people they control.
"warning,
post hypnotic suggestions,
running the ships ashore" these "post hypnotic suggestions" might represent some farfetched ideas the lightpost tries to teach the working class, but some people don't believe these lies, these non-believers are the ships, they are being brought "ashore" by these crazy ideas
"the orange light that follows,
will soon proclaim itself a god" I think the orange light is supposed to represent the leader of the ships, who actually plans to rule them, by proclaiming itself a god
"but if you want the answers,
you better get ready for the fire" this could be saying that if you try to find out the truth behind the lightposts, you will be destroyed
"the ships are multiplying day after day sir,
and theyre coming close to the shore sir, shore sir,
we need to evacuate the light post,
its all over, its all over ~~
its all over." this seems to be saying that more people are seeing the lies told to them by the lightpost, and are becomg ships and attacking the lightpost. The lightpost must be evacuated because they can no longer control the working class.
Apparently, the ships take over the lightpost and become dominant, but the orange light starts "proclaiming itself a god" and telling its own lies to the ships, who now become the new working class.
