A depiction of "At The Mountains Of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft, one of his longer stories which involves an expedition to the south pole (all the "cold" references in the song), where the main characters discover an ancient cave harboring the remains of the Old ones (elder race in the song), and some other things which i wont reveal as not to spoil your reading :D The last bit has me puzzled though, far as i can figure, it's written from the perspective of prof. Lake, one of the characters in the book. Lake dissects the things, "sheds divine blood" and all the while the main character is back in the main base where it's safe, "leaves it denied". Lake calls his name in the middle of the night maybe (the main character's), and he becomes the serpent's spine (ignores him maybe, is cold towards him). Sorry if i spoiled someone's reading pleasure :) i tried to reveal as least as possible. |

It's been weeks since the wolf ate, so he attacks most anything. He comes after the moose, deer, what ever. The herbivore, instead of being the prey, tramples the wolf and raises his corpse in the air (be the raising part metaphorical or not), thus claiming his victory. As for some details, the "fearless wolf, bring it on" part could be a standoff between the moose and wolf. Looking at each other, the moose is confident in his ability to end the predator, provoking him. The "trampler unseen" is a bit foggy though, could be that the moose came down on the wolf so fast that the wolf hardly had a chance to see him. Also, it could be that the moose was acting unusual for his kind, defying the predator, a behavior the wolf hasn't seen before. Like some other HoF songs (such as To Cross The Bridge for example), this one has a strong slave-master theme to it. The slave being defiant to the very end, rather than accepting his fate. Charges you up, doesn't it? :D |

Pretty straight forward I think. A young Indian warchief who starts a journey to prove himself. He travels for days and days, through hostile wilderness, ravens waiting for him to die. He has to return the traitors' scalps as proof. The tribe's medicine man made him a potion to see where he should go ("animal spirits" guiding him) then he finds them (look in my eyes...) and pronounces his name for all to hear. kick-ass song :D |
