about

Well, for a while I wanted to do a song where I howled, and coming home after a Dan Higgs show, I came up with the first verse and the rest just kind of flowed. It turned into a song that I really like, even if I still can’t quite get my head around its meaning. It’s sinister and creepy with a lot of double entendre. The closest I can come to an explanation is that it’s a build-up to some day of reckoning

lyrics

The word is above
Beyond definition
Beyond explanation
Beyond recognition
The word is above

It’s hiding in your mind
Pounding in your skull
Greater than ambition
Creating an obsession
The word is above

And when it makes a sound
It starts with a whimper
And then becomes a groan
Which changes to a moan
And raises to a howl

The dogs they are a comin’
Driven by the hand
The dogs they are a comin’
And they will spare no man
