"Like a man without a home, watching people come and go. Carry on their daily lives without a though for the ones alone."
I picture someone in a hospital, all alone, maybe on their death bed.
The line "as we watch our friends passing over, as they pass through the edges of time" also seems to describe someone dying.
Steve Harris lost two (if I remember correctly) people close to him just before making this record, I wonder if this lyric is inspired by his personal life. It seems very emotional, more than usual for Maiden.
