I always liked this song. That whole album is pretty dark, I don't like it much, but it has a few really nice dark songs. This is one.
Like the little solo at the beginning, and even more when it comes up again in the middle accompanied by the bass drum.
But the lyrics. I came here to see if someone had some clear explanation for it, but since there isn't any, I had to actually try to come up with one myself, and I winded up liking it: the song is Death trying to explaining someone that their presence isn't a bad thing, and to protect that person from whatever dangers of the journey to "the other side".
Or something. I don't know. It's a long shot, since this is the band that solemly declared "I don't wanna go down to the basement, there's something down there!" and "Beat on the brat with the baseball bat, Oh Yeah!".
But it does seem to make sense reading the lyrics and tone of the song.
