"I have burned my tomorrow" this means that he has lived a life of crime, you could say, and has wasted his whole life.
As a few verses down it states "And I stand inside today, At the edge of the future, and my dreams all fade away" I think that means that he is about to be executed for what he's done, but don't get this wrong - it's not that depressing; by burning his shadow away he means that he is repenting.
He is repenting all his sins and wrongdoings. I think that the verse "Fate's my destroyer" means that sooner or later he was going to get caught because it was fate - it was bound to happen.
"I was ambushed by a lie" I think that this means how the devil told him all sorts of lies and made him do evil things while giving him the hope that something good would happen to him (by "to him" i mean the one who the lyrics are about), but it was all a lie. Therefore he was ambushed by a lie.
"And you judged me once for falling" I sense this line is about how someone he cares about judged him for doing something very small (like stealing) and now he has done something much worse than that... many much worse things, in fact.
"This wounded heart will rise" here we have, once again, the part that makes me think he's repenting. He thinks that he will rise to heaven because he has repented his sins and (possibly) found Jesus.
"When I see the light true love forever" I think this means that he started loving God when he found out what he was all about through Jesus. Therefore seeing the light.
"Oh, how I loved you" this last verse is great. it's very simply about how he loved to sin until he saw the light.
Write back with any improvements on my answer or anything you think I've made a mistake on, but I have to tell you. All of the songs from Unkle that I've heard have something to do with God.
Here's what I think this is about:
