Life hereafter is an endless rage of pain. Sentencing of death thou wanted to take thee by the flame. Lurking in the shadows awaiting for the kill. Dare watch their every move. You will receive your bloody fill.

Have no mercy you'll be condemned to hell. Attack with vengeance from deep inside your shell

Died to kill. You're living in a nightmare. You are killing all the innocent without a care

 The sun is setting and darkness starts to fall. The final curtain there will be darkness for us all. You are the warrior unable to be seen, The pain and anger. They're all the victims of your dream.


Good song musically. It works both as a closer and an opener which they did at their infamous, legendary, unforgettable, standing room only, once in a decade Norwich extravaganza VFW concert. Or so I've been told. I don't care for the dead stop in the first chorus and live it comes off as if you all screwed up. The solos on the whole EP sound like they were recorded in a tin can and this is the worst of them but that's part of being young and at the mercy of your engineer. This is not one of Jeff's stellar moments though. The scream is pretty weak and vocally you sounds rushed (as in time is money) and very pitchy all over. No dog, it was just allright for me man... Paula? Simon?

Why Can't anyone ever capture the power in my screams the way they sound live? I didn't write anything on this. I think I barely even edited it. The stop in the song was actually Tony Gross' idea and we thought it was cool so we kept it. Yes, Tony even played producer on this demo. Being inexperienced, we left him freedom to do so, not to mention, it seemed to make him feel that much more important so we were on to that and played along taking full advantage of being able to get more bang for our buck!!! We all sang back-ups probably in three separate tracks to make it sound as if an army of people did the back-ups. I like the clean chord progressions and some of the same distorted but am not overly thrilled with most of the song. I never was inspired by the song so I probably didn't perform it with the passion to make it a better polished product. We opened with this song live but I have no earthly idea why. I wasn't impressed with the solos on this one. Andy and Billy hold down the rhythm section and probably are the more notable pieces to this puzzle.
