What do you make of the lyrics

Now as the river dissolves in sea, So Neptune has claimed another soul. And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen, Until the Shepherd leads his flock away.

What soul has Neptune claimed?

And who are the gods and men who are in the pen with the sheep?

Is the Shepherd the Christ who leads the other gods (lesser gods) and men to some other place? Is this the afterlife, heaven?
