"Man himself has become God and laughs at his destruction / In which we trust a sheeped government and now it's going to collapse!" bassist Tom Araya sings on the track, which rises from soft-spoken vocals and atmospheric guitars to a chaotic rocker with a frenzy of tremolo. It's an ear-grinding good time, and, you know, sort of like Armageddon, except maybe even scarier -- run for the hills.
