Man of the Hour. Neither song is a personal favorite, but SH is an upper mid tier track on S/T, and in the right mood Man of the Hour is really moving.

Severed Hand has pretty dumb lyrics but it's one of their last truly good rawk tunes.

Both of these are middle shelf PJ for me. I like the bridge in MotH and I like the morse-code guitar work in SH.

SH but I really don't mind either.

try to walk by a severed hand
recognize it by the way it lands

(I imagine nothing lands quite like a severed hand)

I always heard it as "Recognized it from the wedding band," which given the context I found to be a really strong lyric.

That's what the official says, so I'd have to say that's correct.

With apologies to the late Ronnie James Dio, any song that unironically mentions dragons loses lyrical points with me.

"You'll see dragons after 3 or 4...:
I said, "Yeh,..."

I still voted for it, though. I'm a fan of this tune, dragons aside.

If SH truly is about tripping then it makes tripping sound fucking lame.

Take a shot every time Warehouse mentions how perfectly the lyrics to "Severed Hand" describe tripping.
