Well this song is awesome with heartfelt soul reflecting vocals, but can somebody tell me what this song is all about? I know Blake is one of Van's favorite writers, but who are really the Eternals and the Sisters of Mercy? and what is the Veedom Fleece?, can anyone help me out with this fantastic song?
