I get the impression that this song is after a funeral. The lighting of a white candle in a cathedral, the imagery of 'dust' , 'bones', 'stone', and 'decay', as well as mention of tears, and comforting a loved one.
Also, the quote "Some way to greet the year" seems like a sarcastic comment, that the death ruined the beginning of the year, and what should have been a beautiful day. Finally the mention of the world being long for you, seems like the singer consoling the girl, telling her that she will not die any time soon, but neither can she controll the flow of life and death.
