Lyric discussion by Shiggy2014 

I think the song is about redeeming oneself for their past sins and ascending to heaven, hence the title "Ascension day."

Bet I'll be damned Built the debt I turned 2's up today Bet I'll be damned Gets harder to sense to sail Farewell fare well Mother numb to & devout to Reckon luck sees us the same

Weighted my hand Kill the bet I'll burn on judgement day Weighted my hand Get hard hit to sin to sail

"Bet I'll be damned today, built the debt." Is an example right here. The character believes that he is an evil person who can only keep doing evil, that they can't find peace in their lives, and surely enough by the end, he finally does.
