I like this song a lot too, and I was watching a Blaqk Audio interview the other day and they mentioned this one. Davey and Jade both said that this song was one of the first BA songs written (Snuff On Digital being the other). And if you just look at the lyrics, listen to the melody, and just the layout of the song you can tell that it is really old. It predates Sing The Sorrow because the imagery isn't there, you hear the song more as a statement than a story. But I don't think it's any earlier than Black Sails because of melody and concept. It's an excellent song, and I'm really glad they waited to put it on a BA album rather than make it an AFI song.
