But it's so haunting, the way he sings the sort of soft and somewhat melancholic first part, then it explodes into that badass scream he has. I also really like the whole kinda Led Zep kinda vibe they have. I really hope these guys get their props. Because they got some good stuff going on here, and they got some real talent. I mean REAL talent.

    For those looking to get some meaning of this song, I'll try my best to explain: His mama knew who he was and how he feels, his daddy tried to stop him from being who he is and almost succeeded. The "muscle hollar and a moan" is his own way of describing his singing. "Black chords" and "black sound" are references to his music in the eyes of those that dont approve. The "catholic" tone is used possibly as a religious reference, but mostly to describe conformity in life OR other types of music. The "heavy bells" represents his kind or style of living and music (tolling out of tune) according to the norm. "You're gonna wake up" and "Toll their tune for you too" are expressions of his plea for you to be yourself and get rid of conformity. "Black sounds upon his folds" references the folds of sheep (conformity) being threatened by his music which takes form in the "nerve hound" or wolf. Chop talking is a hunting reference conerning the wolf hunting the sheep...meaning his music hunting down conformity. Blood and honey are the spoils of consuming conformity, which he has come to fear. I hope this helped show why this song will last forever.

    I heard this song for the first time about a week ago and couldn't tell if I liked it or hated it. I liked the music but the lyrics... and then the screaming. I couldn't understand much of anything he was saying to even search out the song. Thanks to the time change the playlist on the local rock station was all screwed up so I couldn't find it there either. FINALLY today I heard it again, grabbed a pen and paper and scribbled down anything I could understand which wasn't much. Google came through and I found this video. After listening to the song and reading the lyrics several times there is no way in hell I would have ever figured any of it out. The more I hear it the more I like it now I know what hes saying. Just wondering why in the last minute of the song they don't have everything hes saying between ALL HAIL HEAVY BELLS..

    I remember hearing this song on the radio a few years ago and instantly falling in love with it. Had to figure out what it was called, but found it and immediately bought it on iTunes. Three years later and it's still an amazing song.
