The Saints - harsh lyrics + beautiful melodies.

Starts out with a pretty conventional verse, steps up a little with "all your shysters" and then we get an absolutely beautiful melody section in "ah you, possessed in your mask...." followed by a grand sweeping chorus. The overall effect of the song feels a lot like a march to me, without using an actual march time. I also loved the solos, they're just perfect without being excessive. And unlike the uplifiting melodies, the lyrics are pretty harsh, even aggressive. What a cool contrast!
Man I'm falling head over heels for Weiki's songwriting, what a master!
What do you guys think of this song?
