This song was the first song ever which was co-written by Jason, although the bass seems to be nearly absent from the mix.

Album:
... And Justice For All

The song live:
It was the opening song of the "... And Justice For All" tour setlist.

The intro:
The intro was recorded with several guitars on a tape which afterwards has been flipped. So the actually recorded intro is played backwards.

The subject matter:
It tells about the end of the world by a nuclear war.
