Lyrical content

This album features the themes familiar for Iced Earth and Blind Guardian fans, such as grim and apocalyptic songs as Heaven Denies, and Poor Man's Crusade. The song The Whistler is inspired by the folklore tale of The Pied Piper of Hamelin, an old European story where a mysterious piper saves the city of Hamelin from a rat plague by luring them away with his music. After the mayor denies him the agreed price, the piper punished the people of the town by taking away their children. The last three songs are a musical trilogy about a deity who creates and then destroys his own universe.
