Don't get me wrong, I love Death, and this song is one of my favorites just because of the music, but these lyrics make no sense. "Look to to the past is what we should do, when justice was done and justice was true". Yeah, in the past when they cut off your hand for stealing, that's what we should do. Plus, I get the picture of how abortion is "altering the future" by taking away a destiny of a life that could have been...but honestly, I'm sure almost everyone has "altered the future" onto the floor some time or another. Maybe I'm just over analyzing a death metal song, Death's the only death metal band I know that's every gotten preachy in a death metal song.
