this is such an amazing song, i wish i knew exactly what it's about..i'm thinking it might be about the salem witch trials?
"Seventy-four. Seventy-five. He's getting used to it now, how each one falls away in that hoary light.", could be an observer of the burnt witches counting all of the deaths they've seen.
"such a waste, where every angel looks dead, every face a lie.", could be the narrator's lack in faith, since everyone is lying and accusing everyone else.
i might totally, completely, absolutely be wrong. it's just a guess!
