They're great lyrics, very pretty and interesting, but I don't think there's any deep, hidden meaning behind them. It just seems like images to me.
Anyway, the imagery of the song combined with the intense and energetic, yet vaguely melancholy feel to it makes me think of a duel with high stakes, like the final battle with the main enemy at the end of a movie/book/show/game whatever.
I like imagining it to be about a hero (or more like an anti-hero type, but the main character all the same), who has to live in the dark because his enemies somehow cursed him so sunlight would hurt him for the rest of his life. Near the end of the story, he's standing on a hill in the middle of some kind of reddish-brown wasteland at dusk, and when just a little bit of sun is left on the horizon, he removed his cloak and a cloth that was covering his head and eyes. Then he looks over the land, and sees his enemy standing on a hill in the near distance. And I guess that's when the battle will begin. (But I kind of like the idea of the story ending there, it's interesting and open-ended.)
If it did have a proper ending the hero would win (barely, plus I keep imagining that he was already injured when the scene began), but the curse would never be lifted, and he would live the rest of his days wandering under cover of darkness.
(...What's that? I have an overactive imagination? Well, you'd be right, then!)
