This song tells us a story from the perspective of someone bragging about what has happened to him. But everything he tells is so over the top and impossible it's obvious he all made it up. In the last verse he says he's the only survivor. So you have to believe him.

@Shillelagh That's so true! You have no choice but to believe him! :)
