The Rooster Moans Lyrics

This song is beautifully menacing in the way John Tuturro's character from Secret Window got under my skin. It's seems to me to be about a boy's trip to the pits of despair where he'll spend the rest of eternity. It could be taken as a southern church hymnal, in that it gets you turn to away from the Devil. I don't know, but I find it to be a wonderful song.
