I am not sure which battle it&#8217;s describing, but it&#8217;s original and hard-hitting, especially the reference to Satan laughing over the debacle and dead bodies.  My favorite rhyme: dust\/cussed.  The melody, written in a minor key, suits the lyrics perfectly.  The riffs played by the guitar are memorable.  The guitar work gets 5 stars.  Sounds fantastic.<\/p>\n<p><b>Constructive Comments: <\/b>Way, way too long.  1:08 introduction&#8230;unless you are setting something up for a movie, I don&#8217;t think this will fly.
