He
He is the one who told us all those lies.--possibly Satan or God if you want to get tricky.
He, the bard.--a name we associate with Shakespeare...so it could be a writer.
He is the one who blinded us with all those cries.--blinded with cries, a bit odd. No idea from this. It could be the idea of suffering on a cross which I take from later lines
He, the servant.--Christ, Satan in his pre-fall state
He is the one who tricked us with a prize.--again could be Satan, could be God (again depending on the speaker's perspective
He, the snake.--direct imagery for Satan though if it's being ironic God
And the blood was spilt
And the name was writ--possibly crucifixion imagery
As, the glorious He rises.--possibly resurrection imagery
As the one who is He
is... I.--possibly indwelling imagery

The secret of poetry is cruelty.--Jon Anderson
