This song's meaning changes quite a bit depending on which version you listen to. The one from the EP has the confrontation between the Scarecrow (Tobias), the villain-guy (Jørn) and his mentor (Kiske), while the Angel of Babylon incarnation is merely between Tobias and Jørn.
In Angel of Babylon, this seems to serve as the final confrontation between the Scarecrow and his enemy before resolution in Journey to Arcadia. As with the rest of the album, it's very open to personal interpretation and I doubt there is a 'right' answer. It seems that the antagonist poses the question whether or not the scarecrow wants to stay with him, and he seems to have been finally denied, considering Journey to Arcadia.
Meanwhile, in Lost in Space, it simply seems to be Jørn and Kiske's characters vying for control over him. Taking into consideration the rest of the saga, he seems to pick Jørn.
