I think this song is about the decisions and possible bad choices someone (in this instance a king, or possibly even GWB) has to make before stepping down from power or popularity.
"Now you're done
Dry walls don't lean"
Your reign has ended, but things built to last dont come apart easily.
"Made from our
History"
You've done what you've done based on previous choices and decisions made before you were even concieved.
"It bursts for them
Boiling back
Clouds warm the wrists of kings"
But, unfortunately, everything is coming apart and destroying itself, even though you'd tried as hard as you could to keep it from happening, and the cover you made of who you really are is being pulled away, and as such you feel safe in an omnipotent, high up view.
"Your shadow drain them fast
Times unknown
It still goes
Creeping through heaping cracks
Banning with inner love"
The shadow you leave drains anyone to follow you of any glory or ideas of good deeds, and is leading people into times and themes unknown or unseen, and still the world moves on. The pain and terror is coming slowly into all parts of the world, and you try to stop it with good intentions, but cannot.
"Chase
Words say it
Now they've found us
Burning light
Sworn I've had enough
Bring them nothing
They have
Made it's way
The nights"
And so you leave them to chase someone who will help them and make the world better. What you've done doesnt need words, but gets them anyway, and people are beginning to find what you really are, wasting their lives and killing thousands, and now youre stepping down because youd had enough of pain and war. You leave them with nothing that they dont already have, and the "night"(pain and fear) have finally made its way into the world.
