Sometimes it can be hard to think that you aren’t just cursed, that things are working against you. At times like these, you might possibly be right…

If we are just animals
How can we do wrong?
How can we be evil?
Why do we need the devil?
Why do we need god?

I wrote this late one night after a long walk. It occurred to me that if we are, as some believe, just animals, then we only obey our instincts.

It must therefore be the instincts that we deny ourselves that make us human…

This song is, in my opinion (and other disagree) probably the best I have ever written, with the possible exception of Autumn Daemons. The song makes a point and does it strongly. It has a great sound. All in all, I think this is the flagship RGS song, which is why its the first song I posted on the new RGS site.
