This song was another track made under the newly formed supergroup, The Scintilla Project, with the other being When Doomsday Comes; The Ladder being featured on the 2014 film Scintilla, aka The Hybrid. Originally appearing on the Saxon album 'Call to Arms', it got covered for the supergroup album, with Lionel Hicks on drums, Anthony Ritchie on bass, and Andy Sneap on guitar.
The track itself delves into the theme of inevitability and the consequences of one's actions, portraying a menacing figure who symbolizes destruction and chaos; This figure represents the price one must sometimes pay. It depicts a foreboding and powerlessness atmosphere as it describes someone being drawn into a dark and dangerous realm where there is no respite for those who are deemed "wicked." All throughout emphasizing the idea that there will be no peace or rest until a certain task or fate is fulfilled. The song itself also serves as a warning for the allure of temptation and the cycle of destruction that can result from giving in to darker impulses.
Ultimately, all actions led by dark impulses will lead to chaos and destruction. Anyone who does so will end up in the place where darkness dwells, and all who enter will face their own private hell.
