The song is part of the concept album "Avatar Country." The album, as a whole, centers on the King of Avatar Country. The metaphor basically equates the band's music as a country, which means the King would represent the leader or representative of the band's music.
The song is about the death of the king, and the song accordingly recounts the reciprocal affection between the king and the people: the king wants to be buried with the citizens, and the citizens mourn and honor the deceased king, building a throne and singing songs for their king. The line "He was buried at dusk, at dawn he returns" even connects the king to Christ, which shows how much the people have come to adore and love their king ... this metaphor, basically, further bespeaks the close relationship between the band Avatar and the listeners of the band's music. At some point, the band Avatar will have to breakup (or die) too, so the song is about how they evision the end of the band will be: the fans will honor the band, and the band will honor its fans.
