What's this song about?

1
There are moments in life
2
When man with his louse ridden hair
3
Casts wild staring looks
4
At the green membranes of space, for he believes
5
He hears, somewhere ahead
6
The wry hoots of a phantom
7
He staggers and bows his head
8
What he has heard is the voice of his own conscience
9
He is determined and alert
10
And with the speed of a madman he rushes out
11
Takes the first direction his wold state suggests
12
And bounds over the rough plains of the wield
13
But the yellow phantom never loses sight of him
14
Chasing him with equal speed, sometimes on stormy nights
15
When legions of winged octopi which look like ravens at a distance
16
Hover above the clouds, moving ponderously
17
Towards the cities of men, there in the dark
18
Their mission is to warn them on such nights the dark eyed grit
19
Sees two beings passing by one after another
20
And wiping a furtive tear of compassion
21
Which flows out from its frozen eye
22
It shouts out, "Yes, certainly he deserves it
23
It is only justice being done" having said that
24
He re-assumes his grim attitude and continues to watch
25
And continues to watch, trembling nervously, the manhunt
26
The phantom makes a clicking sound with its tongue as if to tell itself
27
It's giving up the chase, his is the voice of the condemned
28
And when its dreadful shrieking penetrates the human heart
29
Man would prefer to have death as his mom
30
Than to have remorse as his son, I have seen him
31
Making for the sea, climbing a jagged promontory
32
Lashed by the eyebrow of the surge
33
And flinging himself down, into the waves
34
The miracle is this, the corpse reappeared the next day
35
On the surface of the raging sea
36
Which had brought this flotsam of pale flesh back to the shore
37
The man freed himself from his body's imprint in the sand
38
He wrung the water from his drenched hair
39
The man freed himself from his body's imprint in the sand
40
Wrung the water from his drenched hair
41
And silently returned to the way of life
