I don't think it's intentional, but this song reminds me a lot of the dawning of the 'Age of Men' on Middle-Earth from the perspective of the elves, as they depart and leave men to rule. There's also the mention of moon knights, slaying dragons, and their souls being like water and like rain they will return, as elves were a kind of natural spirit bound forever to Arda. On death, they passed to the Halls of Mandos, which was still on that planet, where Men's spirits passed on to unknown realms beyond the world after death.
@SalmonGod I don't think it's written thinking of the elves, but you're spot on about the part of being the yesterday that has to take it's leave so the new today can take it's place.
