It's cool that you guys put a lot of thought into this, but Sam Lake is the guy who wrote these lyrics. They are from a poem that he wrote about a dream/nightmare he had. He worked on Max Payne 2, and they got Poets of the Fall to change the lyrics just a bit, and this is the final version you see here.
Now anyone who had played the game obviously knows it fits extremely well with the game, and that the song itself is possibly an allusion or metaphor for something in the game. But the song rules nonetheless and it's open to intrepretation.
