	ג'יימס הכוסי.

No Picture Shotgun Average	#2 by Shotgun Joe at Sep 22, 2006 at 10:18 PM EST
	end of the world good solo

No Picture devon Average	#3 by devon at Nov 29, 2006 at 11:30 PM EST
	It's definitely about the end of the world due to a nuclear war. "Winter it will send;" duh! Nuclear winter. "Death of mother earth;" it takes 300 years (i think) for the radiation to drop to a non-deadly state. Nobody will survive underground long enough to rebuild, hence "never a rebirth." I could continue breaking it down line by line, but I think we're all smart enough to figure it out (at least I hope so).

No Picture † james † Average	#4 by † james † at Dec 17, 2006 at 7:53 AM EST
	How did you get Nukes? This is obvously obout the end of the world, and there are some consistencies with nuclear winter, but what makes everyone say this is nukes opposed to say...the opoculips or something? (sry, i cant spell)

No Picture TAMARA Musical Genius	#5 by TAMARA at Dec 30, 2006 at 10:16 AM EST
	Fucking....Awesome...solo....

No Picture The REAL Godfat Average	#6 by The REAL Godfather at Feb 18, 2007 at 7:07 PM EST
	Yeah the song is lyrically an improoved version of FFWF, a song about a nuclear apocalypse.

No Picture Josh Average	#7 by Josh at Feb 19, 2007 at 5:58 PM EST
	A fucking awesome song by the kings of metal. If only they still did kick ass songs like this one. It's probably about the world being destroyed by nuclear war.

No Picture Dominic Badass	#8 by Dominic Smith at Mar 13, 2007 at 7:26 PM EST
	One of my all-time favourite songs by any band, however one line continues to stump me, "To begin whipping dance of the dead." Does anyone know what the hell this particular line refers to?

No Picture Snap! Crackle! Average	#9 by Snap! Crackle! Josh!! waldenmaier at Mar 27, 2007 at 7:41 PM EST
	i have to agree with "trinidadian" but eoinlbrady didnt have a bad interpretation either.... cool that songs meaning stumped me though lol

No Picture Steil Wanna Be	#10 by Steil Lionhart at Apr 26, 2007 at 3:15 AM EST
	definitely about apocalypse or (opoculips) haha good spelling great song

No Picture Brett Professional	#11 by Brett Czap at Jun 10, 2007 at 10:50 AM EST
	solo's killer ... one of my favorite songs from metallica

No Picture brock Average	#12 by brock someone at Aug 10, 2007 at 8:49 PM EST
	I agree with Trinidadian. I love this song, the solo is perfect, and I heard the intro was different, but when they were recording the song they were messing around with the sound and played the intro backwards, they thought it sounded a lot better and used it instead.

No Picture RoBsN Average	#13 by RoBsN Stalder at Sep 14, 2007 at 9:20 AM EST
	awesome intro
