I'm surprised at the lack of comments here. I love the whole drift album, it's amazing. Me being a progressive rock metalhead dude, it's weird that I would like something such as this. The lyrics are what get me though, so scary, and filled with though. The little sounds in the background add to the experience, and the use of instruments is amazing, such as raw meat for percussion in one song. Scott Walker is a genius.
I love the, "Face on the pale monkey nails." part. I don't know what this song is about, but it's awesome. The Cossacks are a village I know, that are known for there skills in war and weapons I think.
I always think of a beautiful landscape at the, "cossacks are," part, being invaded with white flowers everywhere, with two sides going towards each other yelling, ready for battle, disrupting the landscape. Great song.
@DementedPuppy I'm also surprised at the lack of comments. Especially after all these years. I'm late to the party myself, having only known this album for about a year, so hopefully more people will find this and see the masterpiece for what it is.
The "Cossacks are charging in" part that you described is exactly how I see it in my head. And that just proves again how great Walker is at lyrics.
