    Story Behind the Song
    As the title track, it was important to have some solidifying elements at work, and Bob delivered the goods with some great lyrics here-"11:59:59" comes at the albums crescendo, when the protagonist is in the final stages of dying/reflecting on his past life, and i think the music is also reflectiv of that- Rob, Chris Fox and i wrote the music back in late 2000, but re-vamped it several times, most notably, when Bob joined Alchemy X in April 2001- the cello and Deep Purple-esque organ counterpoint the extremely heavy bottom end guitars and i think the song stands up very well in an album we're all quite proud of-

    Lyrics
    The turn is here-The end is here-
    Last words are spoken- All of my crying
    All for nothing- Blood of my sins
    Awashed on victims- Shot in Darkness

    Eleven Fifty Nine.. Fifty Nine

    The eyes are staring- all uncaring
    Reflecting my sins- of my undoing
    Grins they widen- my pulse dissipates
    Pull the lever
    Watch me quake and die

    Eleven Fifty Nine… Fifty Nine

    Now it’s so cold- the years have grown old
    Trapped in nothing
    Never to escape again
    Too late for remorse- too late for sympathy
    The lives I’ve stolen- are now lynching me

    Eleven Fifty Nine… Fifty Nine
    Lights out!
