In an interview with AltPress, the band said: This song is about death. It is a narrative about the passing of a close friend of the band and what we went through during this time. The gospel vocals you hear on the record are sung as the character of death. I wanted it to be beautiful. Death is something most people fear, and yet it is a constant in this life. We fear it because we don't know anything else but life. Death is the ultimate question, but it is also the ultimate release. Every person I have lost in this life, I feel grateful for having known, but no one lives in vain. How do we judge our lives? A friend once told me, "It's not the years in your life, it's the life in your years." and life and death are what you make of them.
This is beautiful my friend,keep transitioning these metal songs so people can hear the emotion of loving life and being one with self and learning to love another,respecting each other and living,loving,respecting the land as well as each other!
Good God brother. Beautifully done! I can't believe this video has been on RUclips for eleven years and this is the first of many times I'll be back to enjoy listening to this
One of the greatest covers I have ever seen. They are my favorite band and this is just outstanding. Clean it up just a tad, and you'd have this down perfect. But otherwise, I've never seen anything like this. Awesome freaking job.
