This is one of my favorite songs on the collection. I like the idea of what this song is saying, and the lyrics are almost hard for me to sing, because the guy is saying, “Whatever happened to people feeling a conviction and having faith in an idea and a belief? People can’t stand their ground. I’ve always known that it’s very black and white and I have no fear of any judgment. The military has taught me that…” I find that statement to be really challenging, because I’m one of those vacillators that goes back and forth and try to think of every angle and the cause and effect. That’s definitely not me talking! [Laughing] In the chorus, I really like how they get into this mentality where they bark like dogs when they go in for an attack. These guys come on like a force. If you’ve played a sport, or are a musician on a roll writing music, you know the unstoppable feeling — that’s what these guys are trying to get. It’s a combat song, really. It’s one of my favorite melodic Queensrÿche songs that we’ve done, it’s got really beautiful parts. As per Geoff Tate on www.queensryche.com
