Outcry is very obviously a rewrite of Metropolis Pt 1, but it is such a powerful song with such strong emotional pull and it comes together in a way that kind of eclipses the latter.



One of my favorite poetics from DT is in this song:

"The streets are bathed in blood
Time to step down
and time to walk away
You'll never rule me now
Though you may stand upon my grave"



As I wrote over on a thread about ADTOE just before, Outcry would still be one of their best songs without the instrumental section, which is cream on the cake and really carries a lot of weight thematically given the subject matter.

"Soon We shall show them Our signs in the horizons and in their own souls until it becomes clear to them that He is the Reality.
Is it not sufficient that your Lord is witness to  all things?" - Qur'an 41:53
