I think this song is about death, funeral and afterlife, but I'm not sure (it's NEUROSIS, you can never be sure what's the song about). But some line pretty much fit in:
The stain of my eyes
Burnt deep within
Who will fall?
I asked not to know
describing the state of being dead
Digging a hole so I can rest
No tears from no river to take me home
burial of the body
I'm sealed away, you can't touch me now
sealed away - sealed in a coffin?
Let them come
Be my eyes, lead me on
Lift me out, tear me up, spark to fire
Whatever comes through me I will be
As my body leaves me
I cling to a tree in a dream
I'm screaming to you
Whatever comes through me I will be
the refrains are my favourite parts of the song, so deep and calm. The second part states loss of the body, while some part of the singer (soul?) is still alive

Yeah, i think you're right, and i also think it is loosely based on the Tibetian Book of the Dead...
