I think it's about a dying man writing his memoirs. However, it could be a man chiseling his tombstone, seeing as the line, "Here among the souls no longer living" is likely about a cemetery. The line "On that final night" seems to indicate that he is about to die, which would support my two hypotheses. Sill, I think there's more to it than that.
