Description:
This song is inspiried by a book of the same name......A father and daughter survive a nuclear holocaust and are doing their best to take care of one another.....all they have really is each other....

Lyrics:
Walk the road,
Wearing robes that we stiched together
It's all burned away
Smashed like Rahab's face

We dodge the cannibals
Make threats with an empty gun
We pray for iodine
We pray over what's been done
If we are all that's left
Then we must carry the flame

There is nothing everywhere we go
We are starving but we are not dying

Duck and cover

Order from God's favorite killing angel
is almost complete
Brought to you by the cult of uranium,
that can't wait to deplete
They cut a broken deal with a dreadful god of death
So they learned to die where they eat

They walked hand in hand
All the way to the sea
Where they built a sand castle
for dad and daughter to sleep
She wants to know if it's okay to dive into the flooded grim
Even if the water's black
you should still be safe to swim




Hardware:

Wow what timing in this. the changes are outstanding.... Wow this has everything... like when the synth comes in realy offsets the composition. You kow following along with the lyrics makes all the difference.. It realy is emotional and true at the same time.. I guees if things keep going the way they are then this would happen... Me I believe that God will not let his creation be destroyed and his angels are busy very busy stopping the trigger finger from pushing that button!

Loving it. &mdash 05/07/07 - 05:52:04 PM
The song is full/gapless. The lyrics are nice. Im liking how its sung as well. I would like to hear a harder (deeper?) kick drum though. Everything else is perfect.

Quite possibly the best metal performance I've heard this year! &mdash 05/11/07 - 11:23:49 PM
Everything about this song is top notch. The rhythmic changes are professional. The vocals are unique. The lyrics are both intelligent and emotional. The sound is very full, and I can actually hear all of the instruments. Perfect mix. Why aren't you guys signed? You're better than 90% of the bands that are signed.

Thanks to the new innovation that is the radio on the MJ Home page, I was lucky to stumble upon this gem of Metal goodness! Never heard your stuff before but now I will be listening more closely.

This is a prime example of what I like about hard core Metal. Very well done, my friend!
