This song is about a man who committs suicide which is why hes laying on the ground staring at clouds. The woman screams "i think he fell" then the priest comes to try to pray for him but he says my faith is weak so get the fuck away i dont care about it.

About William Tell he is a man who had to shoot an apple of his sons head with a bow and arrow

"The time of death is half past six" this represents both hands of the clock pointing down to hell which is where he will go for killing himself.

"My body lies kissing the ground, like a cross turned upside down" im not sure but i think this could represent a contrast to Jesus saving all humanity by dying on the cross while the main character kills himself while only thinking of himself and being very selfish which is why the cross is upside down (opposite)
