| I think this song is Robb Flynn saying that the reason they have succeded as a band, is because of their will to succeed and the fact that it is all down to the 'blood, sweat and tears' they have shed. I also think it is a reply to people who were calling them sell-outs, saying that "the reason we are here, is because we worked so hard for this". | |

| This is good beacause its different to machine heads usual heavy drop c/b power chord sound. Shame they don't regard it as one of the their best as it was not on Hellalive or the new dvd Elegies | |
