Lyric discussion by kgamm 

This is about a man who is on the precipice of death. He regrets the choices he made in life and is agnostic. The church has never really been appealing to him, with their constant threats of eternal damnation and suffering to the wicked. Unsure of his fate, he wonders what will happen to him as he sees the reaper, an entity he never really believed in.

@kgamm I agree. The agnostic theory works as well, with him "sitting on the fence"
