The 3rd or 4th best song on the album for me. It is so powerful and heavy. Most of us have already noticed the UAGM similarities but it's the piano intro and the part to follow it that really makes the song come alive on its own for me. It has such an Eastern feel to it. Hats off to JR and his inspiration, Chopin!

Great song! This is the first song that clicked for me on this album, and I just love that tickle part before the first verse, it's so crazy!! And that chorus!!

GREAT song.

Whole intro (not just the piano intro) is one of the highlights of the album and DT music overall... too bad the rest of the song isn't on that level of awesomeness then it could be easily top 3 DT song for me but it's still an amazing song and has many more great moments.

Panic Attacker · September 16, 2011, 02:08:24 PM

Easily my favorite song from the new album. An instant classic,

That is true, if the song's verses were up to the quality of the intro it could be my number two song.

I find that the intro piano melody really reminds me of the main theme from Lawrence of Arabia. It really has that desert feel. Also, the tickle section makes that metal riff that comes after it feel so heavy and powerful to my ears.

dongringo · September 16, 2011, 09:12:14 PM

Love this song to death. The piano intro > crazy fast unison playing with ridiculous drumming > awesome mid tempo headbanging riffage > killer chorus > time signature changes so natural...like butta...

energythief · September 16, 2011, 09:17:46 PM

Cannot get the chorus out of my head!

I'm reading George R. R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice series right now, and every time I head the lyrics about "rising from the sand" and "dying for my brothers" or whatever it says (don't have the booklet in front of me) I'm always reminded of the whole Daenerys plot.

theseoafs · September 16, 2011, 09:18:41 PM

This song is just perfect in every way. Top 3 on ADTOE.

TICKLE SECTION

BlobVanDam · September 16, 2011, 10:44:09 PM

I don't know why so many people rank it low. It's a great longer song with a lot of variety, no padding, and a good instrumental section.

Probably my favourite on the album, if not, then second.

Pols Voice · September 17, 2011, 12:32:06 AM

Such a great song in pretty much every way. It just hits the spot.

SnakeEyes · September 17, 2011, 12:34:49 AM

I hated it at first, but it's a solid song. Not crazy about the subject matter, but it's not terrible. At least it's "real" and not about dark masters, diabolical counts or shamans.

Zydar · September 17, 2011, 12:35:14 AM

A top 3 song on the album for me (with BITS and BAI). It has a killer chorus and that crazy "tickle" section

hefdaddy42 · September 17, 2011, 04:53:46 AM

Fantastic stuff.

Progmetty · September 17, 2011, 05:28:34 AM

I can't put the CD anywhere near a magnet because of the severe metalness of the verse riff

Amazing all around, I had the impression it was getting no love around here.

Thematt202 · September 17, 2011, 05:49:13 AM

Didn't really rate it until listen 10-15 or so but now I love it. I remember the first few times I listened to it, I couldn't stand the extended riffing after each line of the chorus!

Thematt202 · September 17, 2011, 05:50:28 AM

I also love the really retro sounding section after the first chorus (the greatest story never told etc).

Sketchy · September 17, 2011, 08:46:26 AM

I love the intro, it just feels big, even with just the piano bit.

Oh, and the tickle section. Love that... and everything else about the song.

IdoSC · September 17, 2011, 08:47:06 AM

Probably my 2nd least favorite song on the album, but all the songs on this album are favorites and awesome. Appreciated, great song!

OsMosis2259 · September 17, 2011, 08:52:56 AM

Great stuff

Tickle section for the win

dongringo · September 17, 2011, 08:57:01 AM

The ridiculously long, laughter inducing guitar/key unison before the vocals come in.

Infinite Cactus · September 17, 2011, 09:43:06 AM

Best song on the album. Love it.

Ahhhh got it. Yes, my brother and I were laughing during this section at how crazy amazing it is yesterday in the car.

nothin g fictional about Shamen!

Awesome song. That intro... I came up with a similar riff a couple of years ago but couldn't really work out what to do with it. Should have channelled Chopin.
The tickle section... I love the way it just keeps going when you think it's about to end.
And the chorus just sticks. this will rule live.

kartmaze2 · September 17, 2011, 10:10:23 AM

I love the part when JLB sings "Feared and respected, living among the gods". Usually, when DT does the upbeat, double bass power metal sound, they do it so well!
Also: cool solos (both JP and JR)!

FlyingBIZKIT · September 17, 2011, 10:30:23 AM

The keyboard solo is my favorite part.

darkshade · September 17, 2011, 10:31:24 AM

Great song, but I can't help think about Symphony X during the chorus. However, the guitar solo is probably my favorite part of the first half of the album.

It's a long time since SX had that much melody in a song.
