#1 by Eric at Jul 24, 1972 at 4:25 PM EST |
| This song is the best tribute to any school shooting to date. It's a cry to mankind, a complaint, and the dialogue (allegedly taken from actual words between students at the Columbine shooting) totally fits the song. The emotions in the singer's (Tarja Turunen) voice work really well with the heavy music. What I like most about this tribute is that it looks at it from both sides, instead of just the "good" side. | |

| Does nobody else find this song just a little bit, well, crass? I mean, I don't mind healthy discussion of complex issues, but this just seems like a massive simplification on the part of the songwriter. | |

| Man, this song is proof that classical instrumentation and vocals can make a song heavier, when done right. | |
