Dedicated to the Late Cliff Burton. The lines that Jaymz recites in the last 3rd of the song was actually said by Cliff.

That first line was also spoken by Merlin in the movie "Excalibur" when giving a speech to the victorious knights after a battle (I think). That was released in 1981

Dearest ArmFighterPilot and KRBSRACING31K, First, I'd like to point out that, as much as I'd like to take credit for the majestic lyrics in my initial post, they are actually Metallica lyrics from the album eruditiously entitled "Kill 'em All." The song from which they were excised is entitled "Whiplash." I would like to point out that this song also shows, in the carefully chosen words of TheExile, the "love, peace, and all around goodness" of our Metal Martyr Cliff Burton. "Whiplash" is one of the most significant and profound works of art ever. Regarding my username, I offer you dear sirs my most sincere aplologies. Please allow me to assure you that in choosing this identifier I did not intend to offend (oh look, that rhymes, how beautiful and profound!) I could never even imagine poking fun at such a serious matter as the demise of this severly talented and romantic poet-bassist. Please continue rocking on. And please don't forget to live your life by Metallica's lyrics. I certainly do. Love, Cliffsrottingcorpse

I really like this song, but it does kinda drag on, but oh well, that one slow riff in it is the prettiest riff metallica has ever written in my opinion. Anyway, the lyrics "when a man lies he murders some part of the world" is actually a line out of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
