While I can't analyze everything about this song, I think it's a part of the story where the adventurer is climbing Blood Mountain, and the mountain is a volcano.

"Earth has Burst, Mountain Flames", and the rest of the song is his feelings going up the side of this dangerous mountain. The Mountain is a sleeping giant (inactive volcano), that is starting to stir. It can also be a metaphor for their jump to a major label.

Anyways, that's what I see, but it is a great, great song. One of my all-time faves.
