Songfacts®:

  • This is the opening track from Welcome Home Armageddon, the fifth studio album by Welsh rock band Funeral for a Friend. Drummer Ryan Richards told Rock Sound magazine why they penned this as an introductory track for the record: "This actually started as a short piece of music that gave us the melody we wrote 'Old Hymns' around. We went back to this piece after writing 'Old Hymns' and decided that it would work really well, not only as an intro to the song, but to the album. We're on our fifth album and have never used an intro track, so it seemed like a good place to start as we meant to go on - by doing something that we had never done before on a record."
