I can feel the ravens looking

There is dust in my eyes

There is a body in the coffin

It is too warm for the cure

There's a mirror in the casket

I can see my future there
The speaker sees their fate or destiny mirrored in this scenario.
Can I be the last man standing?

Or give in and jump the fence

When I disappear, can I have it like this?

Keep the change, don't need it when I go

I pay the piper at the funeral show

Let me hang from the gallow
An expression of a desire to suffer the consequences or face a punishment.
Let me be the one who's next

Let me be the one who's sleeping
To peacefully rest or be at peace as the deceased.
I come back as the guest
The speaker's wish to return as an observer or visitor after their passing.
When I disappear, can I have it like this?
A repetition of the desire to depart from life with a similar sentiment or feeling.
Knocked down in the covenant bliss
To experience being brought down while in a state of sacred or solemn joy or agreement.
Keep the change, don't need it when I go
Not needing any change or transformation upon departure.
I pay the piper at the funeral show
Symbolic payment for debts or obligations at their own funeral.
