The song could also be about reaching the peak of your career (like when you are the archeologist who discovers a hithereto unknown pyramid way back in a previous century) and needing to accept the fact that from now on things can only go downwards: success, public attention, wealth. That would in my view also be in line with the meaning of the final song of the "Pyramid" album: "shadow of a lonely man".

@klumprob That is an interesting take, and it could well be the songs intent. But, when faced with multiple theories, I always prefer to go with Occam and his hair removal system.

The hooded figure of Death has come for you, as he comes for us all. Truly, you can't take it with you, and there's no bargaining your way out of it.
