This is (like their other albums) a concept album. In this song, our hero, Ennio Morricone, breaks out of prison and is heading home to see his girl.
In the next song, "Ball and Chain", he's describing his relationship to his gal.
In "Rumbrave", he's introducing himself and telling about a few of his exploits.
In "Fuego", he finally makes it home and has just-out-of-prison sex with his girl.
In "Second Option", he's talking about an uppity enemy of his and implying his intent to kill the guy.
In "Steal away", he, along with his girl and brothers head out on their mission. He tells them that they'll stick together no matter what happens.
"Ash" is the tale of their actual deed. They killed his enemy and burnt down his house. He also realises that he's changed. He's no longer the beast he used to be.
"The Black Spot" further builds upon his realisation how his changes and condemnation of his brothers for their behavior.
"52 Ford" is about finding his girl, who's now shacked up with another man. He wants to kill her to finally cleanse himself and break free from his criminal life. At the last minute he decides not to kill her, but as he goes to leave her man comes home, thinks he is a threat, and stabs Ennio.
"Spring Break" is the aftermath of the fight with his ex's man. Ennio finds himself in the middle of a desert somewhere. He vows to do good from now on and heads toward Mexico to start a new life for himself.
Great analysis, but I don't think the anti-hero's name is Ennio Morricone. Ennio Morricone is an Italian composer who is famous for writing the music for a lot of old Spaghetti Westerns--The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West, etc.
