Well, as someone who's done his share of coke (if you get the opportunity, pass on that), I can tell you that there's almost a literal translation here. After a long night of partying and doing coke, smoking Marlboros and weed, and drinking, by dawn your nose and eyes are kind of burning...really irritated. Your eyes are irritated like you've been staring at a computer screen all day and your nose is burning like you've been breathing lots of cold, dry air (what the coke is cut with can have a lot to do with it, but I'm pretty sure it's mainly a result of the highly damaging drug you've been snorting into your brain all night).
Anyways, it's one of my favorite Sabbath songs. I don't care much for SOAD's cover, and Zakk Wylde's cover, although awesome, isn't close to as good as Sabbath's (it sounds the same, yet different, but it's very good as far as covers are concerned...you can find it on the bonus disc of Live Brewtality album and I think it's on the Kings of Damnation compilation).
