^I agree with Shokk. I'd also add that the song takes a very Buddhist approach to life; not only in re-incarnation, but the general idea of suffering. I think that may be what the last verse signifies: "A man who casts no shadow has no soul" == A man who does not suffer within his life hasn't really lived life.
Coincidentally, does anyone know Bruce Dickinson's or the other band members' official stance on re-incarnation? References to it also pop up in "Infinite Dreams" and "Hallowed Be Thy Name".
