Can we be friends now? LOL
Great tribute and a smokin' song! Inspired by Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series, and eerily relevant to current events - the struggle against global evil and violence, its connection to an important tower, and an opening and closing lyric about how our hero "follows a fleeing man through the desert..."
All success to Chris, Tom, and my cousin Lynzie. Keep on rockin'!!
( And Ronnie Howard, I hope you're listening.- seems like the perfect song for your Dark Tower trilogy in 2013...)

Totally my pleasure, guys!! So glad you liked it.
And you know, in addition to simply being an AWESOME track, this song has such resonance and timeliness in the REAL world right now. Think about it - a world filled with evil and violence; a hero trying to fight it who'll "do so until the ground gives way"; the focus on a tower (in the story a tower built on evil, in our world 2 towers destroyed by evil); and the relentless pursuit of that "fleeing man through the desert."
This song is HUGE!!
