If you read the lyrics, to me it's about death, and facing up to the fact that its time to depart the world and meet the maker. For example
the lyrics-
'Time marches on never ending
time keeps its own time
here we stand at beginning' means time continues regardless and will continue even after death takes us and it is possible that we go back to the beginning at the end of our existence.
The lyrics-
'Tomorrow, tomorrow,
tomorrow means nothing at all
If we don't hear the line
when today places it's call' means that there is no tomorrow for the departed after death takes us.
The lyrics -
'So tell me how do you do
finally I meet you
you don't know what I've been through
waiting and wondering about you... ' mean like a greeting to death 'how do you do' and all our lives we wonder what it will be like when we die.
The lyrics -
'I knew you'd come knocking one day
unannounced like a thief in the night.' Mean we know it will happen sooner or later that death will steal us.
Just my interpretation :)
