I see the lyrics like this: its about a king, who is getting old and can't do nothing about it, he is going to die. So he questions himself if he has done the right things in life.. knowing that he havnt and therefor ask after someone whos wiling to trade his karma for a kingdom... and well that can't be done since karma is a personal thing.
This makes me thing of American Psycho, because he wants a new inside and Bateman from American Psycho thinks the inside is something that dosnt really matter because you can always get a new.
So i see this song as a soiciaty criticize.
Interpreted as if they say that we should stop trying always to look good in the new clothes and all,
and that we should be good people because at the end you can't change that.
