	Story Behind the Song With the addition of the solo at the end, this song is finally done. The recording is not. It gives the idea, though. Enjoy. The idea behind the song is that the philosophies of despair espoused by Camus, Nietsche and Sarte (sp?) have completely infused our modern western thought. It was as if these men "ruled me from the grave". Of course, it is self-testimonial and talks about how Jesus now rules me from the throne of my heart. Just so you can understand the lyrics. Camus wrote a play called "The Stranger". Nietsche wrote about the idea the super-man who is free of morals and, of course, Sarte wrote "No Exit". And yes... I have read them.
