I feel like the song is about taking revenge on oneself. For some reason I translate revenge to suicide. He is taking revenge on his demons by killing himself." For so long, my demons... Its countdown for me. With blindfolds, you held us... Till I found the best(Revenge)". Especially the "Its countdown for me" part. This song is in my top 3 songs off their (Hats off to the bull) album.... Anyone else care to share their views on this poetic work of art...???
I like your thoughts on the song, i never though about it that way. If i were to interpret the lyrics literally i'd almost say it sounds like it's talking about the witch hunts, or something along those lines of being picked out, and persecuted.

Crowds and torches fill the air. At first, to me as well it sounded like a witch hunt. However, I could not fit revenge into such circumstances.
"Surprise your chosen now finish it": Surprise that you yourself have become your own victim, now kill yourself.

"Those burning eyes indeed define the churning of the soul": he's hurting to a point where others can see him hurt.
"Its better to be lost, but haven't felt the choice for so long": the pain has accumulated to a point...

"Fate has torched us for to long": His life or fate has been an agonizing experience and hes had enough. Now, he will take his fate into his own hands.
After 100 listens, it hit me out of the blue... he is taking revenge on his demons. Crowds and torches is a metaphor for "going all out" (per say) on his demons.
All of the above is strictly my own personal opinion. Please forgive my dark interpretations.
i can see that, but i think the demons he is talking about are really his own. them being in music for over ten years and yet if you go ask somebody if they know the band chevelle 90% would say no. thats becuase they didnt sell out.the demons are, if they would have sold out and did music the way the record companies like sony and other big companies wanted them to do it, maybe they would have grammys and other awards. maybe sometime he regets not doing it. if you notice they are on the road most of...
