There are so many unbelievable things about this song - I mean really, who writes something like "From the cathepsin to the cathexis, I'll bear the stigmatic focus of the anti-catechist" and gets away with it? Just amazing... Judah's choice of words is unreal - his songwriting is so artfully crafted, every word selected and nurtured carefully instead of simply chosen to fit a rhyme scheme.
When I saw them perform this song live in the summer of 2005, before they started Judah said something like: "I feel that I should warn you... This next song has over 1,000 words, and none of them repeat," meaning that there isn't a chorus (which is, of course, true).
