I'll start defining this song by explaining the egyptian god 'Osiris' who was the judge of the dead & the underworld, and the agency that granted all life, including sprouting vegetation & the fertile flooding of the 'Nile River'. He was described as "He Who is Permanently Benign and Youthful" & the "Lord of Silence". I think that this song is could be about his legacy, & possibly other egyptian gods in relation to the Nile. The lyrics describe a sliver of gold, a holy ghost, eyes aged along with history - so aside from the songs title of course - there's certainly a few references that point towards that.
