Passing of the Crimson Shadows Lyrics

Sort of speaks of the finality of death to me, especially the chorus, and use of words such as "no more", "latest hour", final" etc etc.

The only thing I don't really get is the "crimson" shadow. The only thing I can think of is the setting sun (literally and metaphorically) ... which I guess ties in with the moonbeam line in the first verse, and that metaphorically the sun is setting on their life. Otherwise I'd be inclined to think it has something to do with death ... often described as crimson red.

Thoughts??
