Very clear about the meaning in the first line and in the second verse: "Oh Father tell me, do we get what we deserve?" and "You let your feet run wild, Time has come as we oh, all go down. yeah, but for the fall, ooooh, my, do you dare to look me right in the eyes?"
To me, this very clearly says you have to be careful how you live because you have to answer to God eventually. There is a measure of guilt in this song, and I think the lines: "'Cause they will run you down, down til the dark
Yes and they will run you down, down til you fall
And they will run you down, down til you go
Yeah so you can't crawl no more" are about your actions that will follow you.
