| I can't believe how rigged the top 100 list is, this could easy be on there in the 30s by the rating it has compared to the crap that's on the top 100 list. | |

| Yes, this song is about the crucifixion of Jesus, well more about his thoughts leading up to his death. Personally, this is one of my favorite Iced Earth songs. Definitely a story told with great emotion from Matt, he does a great job singing it. | |

| Definitely either about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ or just the final thoughts of a martyr (in general). Perhaps the greatest Iced Earth song...ever. | |
