     This track (my last track on this album) was very much inspired by the undead "true form" Dess design made by euclicide and all the various other interpretations of the concept that have followed.

Additionally, i wanted to add a lot of tragic over/undertones to the track, though the [[track:raise-up-your-bat|Raise Up Your Bat]] part also carries a slight bit of hope/heroism - perhaps the last remnants of Dess which still remain in there, somewhere.
