every song on blood mountain is as good as the last, which is rare in music these days. i think this song is about how the main character learns to control his werewolf side, that it isn't a curse, but a weapon he can use, a hand of stone he can use to defeat enemies, he realises that the gods haven't cursed him, but gifted him. lines like "brain divided", "arm of strength, nature's fire" and "the truth, the mask" show this, as well as the awesome bit before the solo. Also the last line i mentioned suggests the guestioning of which is his true self, the human or the wolf. Sorry, this is my A level English Literature showing through.
