To me, this song is being "told" by a person on their deathbed, scared for their life, scared that they didn't live it righteously and as well as they would've liked to and contemplating every detail of their life. It basically seems like an attempt to try to scare people out of a rut in their lives but in an incredibly insightful way.
Classy as always, Shai Hulud comes in at the end to provide a glimmer of hope:
Now rest;
Leave your venom behind.
May we all have such strength.
Brilliant.

Cold Lord imparts the loss, bound with resulting reflection, deep and deprecating.
