I can rarely understand him, but by god Sam Beam is an amazing lyricist.
Notice stanzas one, three, and five all start with a line referring to the night.
And stanzas two, four, and six have something about pacifying in the third line.
The even stanzas also start with missing things. (religion, fingers, angels)
I get a very cowboy theme, from the music and the lyrics. Shady deals, stealing trains, wooden coins (which I agree means worthless), roosters, sun rises..
From here it could just be.. that.. or maybe specific things only he would know. But it means certain stuff to me because they are so open ended and the images are BRILLIANT.
