Isn't it great to hear music that is actually worked through, in everything from lyrics to the smallest drumfill....Amazing, and hope for new stuff to sound as mindblowing without the voice of Khan.
This song has the most amazing/catchy guitar work. I love the tempo of this song. It gives it that Egyptian feel. I agree that this song is one of the best on PFTP. Roy Kahn will be missed. It's going to be hard for Kamelot to find someone of Roy's caliber. I'm just glad that he did a lot of epic cd's with Kamelot.

I don't really agree with this song, with a large amount of military in family and close friends lost to the acts of terrorism I can see the need to war to stop more acts. Just like in world war 2 we had to stop hitler. BUT, and I say that I respect this band and love them, and whether or not I personally agree doesn't make it less incredible or masterful in music!
Good song and appreciate the vid, but as some constructive criticism, the text doesn't contrast well with the background at times and can be difficult to read. Other than that, great upload.
Youll notice that the epica and black halo album had alot to do with god because it was actually 2 albums but one concept piece, about a man (ariel) in his pursuit of faithfulness, running into obstacles that test his faithfulness. It all began with a fallen angel mephisto and god putting a bet on. If mephisto could win ariels soul he could come back to heaven, if not he would spend eternity in hell. Kamelot were and amazing band, khan had the voice and the music always gave you that feeling...
I suspect that Khan was not the one writing the songs, seems to me from what you guys are sayin he was pressured into singing them by his group. It is a probable scenario, would you not agree?
@drakomuendo Most of their songs are written by Roy Khan and their guitarist, Thomas Youngblood, so I don't think you can say that he was forced to sing them.
@Psych02204 never said he was forced too just said he may not have written the particular song, I don't know all that much about the group but you just confirmed the probability of accuracy by what you just said. here is the sum of my previouse message. he may have sang it but that doesn't mean he was the one who wrote it.
@drakomuendo You should make it a little clearer though, and saying that "He was pressured into singing them" makes you seem like you're insinuating that he was forced into singing them, but I get the idea now. :)
This song is about wars caused by religion, isn't it?
I like how it combines the different styles of the album. There's that more electronic part at the beginning (like in Pandemonium), the mighty chorus, soft bridge, then the film score break plus guitar solo... Just seems to sum it all up.
@Worldbaser even if he already believed in god, it looks like he didn't have a good relationship with him. just look at the lyrics when he sang for conception and his lyrics in kamelot, or that line in TGP where he says: I spoke to God but he wasn't there and then the ending of his announcement where he says : the good news is god was there after all...
@IvanTsarina the song ''abandoned'' made me think of that as well... actually there are a lot songs with some points with God involved. But yeah the last sentence of his announcement showed like there's something brewing... I'm actually wondering if all the songs they made have a similarity to their real lives.
@GuitarGuy057 yeah I'm aware of that =_= the story about ariel and his search for the truth and so on, I wasn't talking about that and thís song isn't on that album, I was only enumerating some songs :p
hmmm. I dunno, the song is awesome , the chorus is awesome, but it doesnt tell a story like their old songs did. Now it's more like, trying to convey a mood. I think I liked the medieval epic style they had before more than the shift toward gothic metal and imagery.
It's still really good though, dont confuse me for a hater.
jee this song is amazing... it really takes you to the warfield. it almost feels like I can see corpses all over the place and agony... this is the power of kamelot's music. simply magic (although it's not my favourite song by Kamelot).
My fav off PftP. It sounds like it's about World War 1. Particularly with "Every nation, thank you for putting down your arms (This was the war to end all wars, this was the war to save democracy!)"
@TheEarthforge 'this is the war to end all wars' is what was said about world war one during the war... of course we now know this isnt true, then he says 'this is the war to save democracy' which is what is said about the war in iraq, so it probably has more to do with that, every nation thanks you for putting down your arms, probably refers to a crazy guy with nukes, who just agreed to not arm the nukes, so yeah, modern war
@mynameisnyhm its something very weird because for me it reminds me more like Cold War because the song talks about West and East Side but if you check the part when it says "this was the war to end all wars" it's about the WWI because WWI was also named like this. But if you check the part when it say "the war to save democracy" its about WWII because lots of historian call it "The War To Make The World Safe For Democracy"
I love Poetry for the Poisoned, it's almost better than The Black Halo :) One of my favourite songs on it too, would be Necropolis. I love the title too :D

@mynameisnyhm but can also being talking about modern war (as you said)
and the part of "arms put down" could being talking about nuclear disarmament which started after the WWII.
I think this song in general is about the war and the harm that cause to the mankind
