Most of the things about this song that I've thought of have been discussed pretty thoroughly... I have a couple of things to add however. I agree with jason65 in that the song shouldn't necessarily be taken so literally... the symbolism is laid on pretty thick. I think that it's pretty significant that the town is up on a mountain. When I think of a mountain, I think of something up high. Being up high can be associated with being overly self-righteous-- using the narrator as a scapegoat. On that note... I thought of the "Our beloved kin..." etc. verses could possibly be referencing some sort of lower class (or race) that is oppressed by a ruling class. evilMoW: Yes, the song following this one on the Reckoning Night album is White Pearl, Black Ocean. |
