I kinda agree with Weasel.
But to me, it ties in with 'Riot On Broadway', which leads me to believe that the two songs are related. In fact, some parts of Roll On can tie in pretty well, but that's a story for another day.
I think that y'know, the riot was crazy and shit, right? So, this person that Cheney's describing died during the riot (Hence the tie in with the ending of Riot On Broadway and Staring At The Light).
So, this person is dying or dead and going toward the light (God?), where they will be judged and put into either Heaven or Hell. I'm guessing that Cheney and the band are 'dead', given how Cheney narrates it (you're not alone now). So... yeah. It leaves the verdict unclear and everything, but that's my view on it. (Sorry for the disjointed nature of the analysis, I'm really tired. If anyone cares to clean it up, be my guest and give credit and such.)
