I have many different ideas about this song. I agree with AgentONeal, and I think Megalodon made a great observation.
Ultimately I think it must have something to do with becoming immortal. I imagine it's about someone who's died and is a spirit.
"Downward you'll soon drift
On the sailless boat" I believe that is making reference to a soul traveling the river of Cocytus in the Underworld of Greek Mythology.
I also think it might be referring to God. With all the lines of being a "seedless sower" and "breathless blower" I think it could refer to God because He has the power to do anything regardless of resources.
And the line "I'll show you the light
Here in the afterlife" especially provokes me to believe it's about God.
There are so many ways to take it and I think that makes it a very good song. The possibilities to analyse this song are nearly endless.
