This is one of my favorite songs on this album, but I have a point of annoyance to share: Colin's enunciation. Each time he sings "Come hell," it does it a little differently. When I first heard this song, I thought he was saying "compel" at the beginning because he pulls the words together. In the final repetitions, he inexplicably adds what feels like an "m" and an "f" to the "hell"s. It's most obvious when I listen through headphones.
I don't think it's intentional and I still love this song.
I agree, except I think it is intentional. I couldn't even understand archers ("come the oichas") before I read the lyrics and he also pronounces infantry like infanCHy. I couldn't believe he was American when I looked it up. This aren't pronunciations from anywhere in the US, so unless he has some kind of speech defect with producing "R" sounds, this has to be an artificial accent.

That said, it doesn't really bother me, I still love the video
