Yeah, there are some definite similarities. The mellow section is more King's X sounding than the heavy part. I think the chord progression and the mixture of acoustic/electric guitar parts is the main thing that creates that overall impression. The ending of the song is almost identical to The Burning Down.
Since this album came out a good 17 years after the King's X debut album, I'm assuming Pat had been listening to some King's X during that period.
