From the previous song, "The Decision Tree," the Highlander has chosen to be the one who lays down his long and weary life to allow the other seven to go on to the Electric Castle. The others, the Egyptian, Roman, Knight, Indian, and Futureman, are the most empathetic and outgoing of the others and offer their prayers for the Highlander's passing into the most beautiful of afterlives they each know. The Barbarian offers no good wishes because he doesn't respect the Highlander for giving up, and the Hippie is too far into his own inner world to really contribute.
