This song was written from the perspective of an acid trip. It's a metaphor for the cosmic forces which seem to control your life, and what causes us to perservere through our brief nihilistic existence. In the end, the nightfall of diamonds is exceedingly transitory but that takes nothing away from it's breathtaking beauty. If this song could be distilled into one emotion, it would be that of awe. The composition that was followed for this song drives the point home further, with a dramatic build up of energy which sometimes would explode with apocalyptic fury, and other times simply fade out, like a dying star.
