"A lifeline in a drop of blood": i don't agree with the opinion that ths line's about ancestry. he says "lifeline," not "lifetime." i think he's bleeding the last drop of blood that has kept him alive.
"A dying wish to shun a God": hopes god/heaven don't exist, because he's concerned about all the bad things he's done in his life.
"Sought a dream inside the light": made a dying wish as he "sees the light"
"Finally relieved from plight": finally over.
i'm less sure about what the rest of the song's about. i really like the lines "Tracks in the snow / Leading them to woe." to me, he's describing the children's last trek. they either discover something terrible or something terrible happens to them.
