This is based on a true story. On December 26, 1985, horror novelist Whitley Strieber was allegedly abducted by aliens. At first he didn't remember any of it, but bit-by-bit he began to realize that SOMETHING had happened to him that night, and soon went to see a hypnotist. He was put under, and recalled a whole, complex memory of being abducted by...them. He wrote a whole book about all this, COMMUNION, which is Tom S. Englund's (the leader/vocalist/guitarist for Evergrey) biggest inspiration lyrically. From this book came this song, as well as "The Shocking Truth" and the whole of the concept of 2001's IN SEARCH OF TRUTH. Quite a good series of music, IMHO.
