10,000 Witnesses Lyrics

Cover art for 10,000 Witnesses lyrics by Clutch

this song is clearly a referance to rock making its comeback after rap and hip-hop and their stint as the dominant genre. just look at the chorus.

look at the opening line - "after escaping the hangmans noose

and regaining my cognisance"

he is refering to someone being hanged, the "noose" is the rope. so, rock escaped death, and after being a little shaky, finally got got back into some good styles.

"gonna find my executioners and show them exactly what it means to live" is clearly a sign that clutch would be changing their style, even just a little bit, which they did.

@I Wear Pants 06 I like this interpretation
