Hold a halo 'round the world
Golden is the day
Princes of the Universe
Your burden is the way
So, there is no better time
Who will be born today?
A gypsy child at the day break
A King for a day
Out of the shadows and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again
Dust and dreams in fading daylight
Flicker on the walls
Nothing new your life's adrift
What purpose to it all?
Eyes are closed and death is calling
Reaching out its hand
Call upon the starlight to surround you
Out of the shadows and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again
Out of the shadows and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again
Out of the shadows and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again
Out of the shadows and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again
A man who casts no shadow has no soul
Golden is the day
Princes of the Universe
Your burden is the way
So, there is no better time
Who will be born today?
A gypsy child at the day break
A King for a day
Out of the shadows and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again
Dust and dreams in fading daylight
Flicker on the walls
Nothing new your life's adrift
What purpose to it all?
Eyes are closed and death is calling
Reaching out its hand
Call upon the starlight to surround you
Out of the shadows and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again
Out of the shadows and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again
Out of the shadows and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again
Out of the shadows and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again
A man who casts no shadow has no soul

I partly agree with the majority. Birth and rebirth. I think the first part of the song shows a person being born, everything being white and clean. He is the king for a day and nothing can harm him.
Next the chorus tells us how this person enters a whole new, different world than before. He sees the war and hate and pain.
He "dreams of the past" longing to be young and free of hate and worry again.
Next our person lives in this world of constant rush and hate, nothing changes, nothing makes any greater difference, what's the point? The inspiring dreams he had are flickering away as he grows older. Death seems so comforting now, away from this pointless life, but he pulled though it, a good person in the end, sure he has his shadows, but no man is perfect.
Then comes the chorus; the man is once more leaving this world and entering a new one. Maybe heaven, maybe another life all in itself. I'd think heaven because no one really wants to endure this life only to be born again.
I absolutely love this song, every part of it is perfect, from the vocals to the amazing solos. I'm surprised there are so few comments.
