My interpretation of "The Hand the Furnace The Straight Face" term is that of one disguising pain. Like a man with his hand in the furnace holding a straight face, not showing the horrible pain he's in. Also just of how simplistic it would be to remove one's hand from the fire. A big theme in this album seems to be leading oneself into destruction (Doomsday Stomp e.g.) I don't believe this is any different in the sense we're holding our own hand in the pain of this world while there's a simple solution, just remove the hand.
As for the song: Tough Stuff. I think the words have different meanings, and some lines refer to other songs. All I've figure out is "Rest" seems to refer to the song "The Hand, The Furnace, The Straight Face" which is all about finding peace and rest, so it seems as if you remove your hand from the furnace Rest will follow.
Also ( adding to the term of disguising the pain) one thing that just came to me is that the devil is all-knowing like God is. The devil can only see what you show him, so if you disguise the pain with praise then he will feel powerless to you.
