Story Behind the Song
Well, this song was made a month before it was gonna get laid down, but all the parts were not done and tested. The lyrics, bass solo, and guitar were created the day if not night before we got to the recording studio. We were all equally surprised when hearing the parts being laid down. Drums then, bass and some guitar, followed by some strange guitar stuff that was unexpected, the was carried along by a killer bass solo, and all put to rest by awe-inspiring lyrics. Yeah, we all came to love this song, it's a product of Unit-1 and it was chosen to carry the name of the album. I would say it's the icing on the cake for the demo- album but it's just as tasty as all our other songs. We each have favorites but I think it could be said this song is a favorite of everyone in the band.

Lyrics
How deep the sadness that I feel
To see you wonder if Im real
To taste you bite me in the hand
The hands that feeds the ones called man
Heaven sent, you fall but your back again
Rusted chains bind you to the rock of sin
Young men wear the souls of a thousand old
Burden lightened if you just did what youre told
You cry, I grieve, a cycle begun
In a time when the world was a lonely one
Ashes of the calm had their silence torn
On the dawn of the sixth when you were born
And on the eighth day
The fear of man is lord
And on the eighth day
The judgement hand writes evermore
Open wounds made hard by the hearts of stone
Sometimes its better to leave well enough alone
This life is as you all so choose
Understand it's not part of the plan to lose
And on the eighth day
The fear of man is lord
And on the eighth day
The judgement hand writes evermore
You blame me for your stalling
Ive called, you hear no calling
I've stood before you a bruised, beaten, defeated man
Trying to justify to myself all this pain
They told me to believe during my roughest time,
when the going gets tough
But during all this suffering, I hae to ask
Were you really there?
"SHHH"
"IT'S ALRIGHT"
"MY SON"
TO KNOW PEACE YOU MUST FIRST KNOW WAR
New day, new night, but the times the same
Who ever said the only constant in life is change?
Humans raw acts of war diminish the truth
With the faith of a rock, a mountain moves
And on the eighth day
The fear of man is lord
And on the eighth day
Your judgment hand writes evermore
You blame me for your stalling
Ive called, you hear no calling
Hear me now
Youve got to trust somehow
Carve the way
For the ninth day
How deep the sadness that I feel
To see you wonder if Im real
To taste you bite me in the hand
From which you fed, for you it bled
