My brother and I had a discussion about this song. We're both pretty sure that it's about a King who has either betrayed or been betrayed by his closest friends and knows that his final conflict has come.
But we both differed on an interpretation of the last verse.
"Tired, trembling, I am descending..."
I looked at it as the King being wary and afraid to finally face his friends in combat.
My brother sees it as tired of their machinations behind his back, and he is trembling with anger, ready to destroy them.
