This song has a very unique and indepth feeling to it. It belittles you into liking it. Its evident that the songs objective is to discredit humanity via very true insights. Also it reaches into the topic of humanity needing control over everything despite us knowing its not possible. We are a high and mighty species that are convinced the earth needs us to save it, when infact in order for it to be saved the earth needs us gone. " Can you summon the sun from its sleep? Does the earth seek your council on how fast to spin? Can you shut out the gates of the deep. However the first verse of the song is that really touches me the most in a profound manner. " All you great men of power, you who boast of your feats Politicians and entrepreneurs. Can you safe guard your breath in the night while you sleep Keep your heart beating steady or sure?" - Despite all your "power" and "accomplishment" you cant even keep yourself alive. "As you lie in your bed does the thought haunt your head That you're really rather small? If there's one thing I know in this life, we are beggars all"- Does it bother you that your not important, cause your not. All of us are at the whim of life and mortality, we "beg" to stay alive.

In substance, execution, and composition; breath taking excellence.

Thank you thrice
