Prophets of War is the best song on the album after ITPOE2, imo (and of course that godawful "rapping" part from MP). It has a great guitar riff, catchy melodies and it's also James' best performance on the album. The only "bad" thing about is the intro, imo. Yeah, the lyrics aren't the best nor particularly original on the subject and all that but they are good enough to get the point across. A fun song, good for live participation too - it's The Rite of Passage of the album.
Saying this song is awful and loving tunes like CM, TDEN, TCOT is mind-boggling to me.
