about

Written back in 1999, the lyrics were inspired by Paco Rabanne and his prediction in Fire From Heaven that the Russian MIR space station would come crashing to earth, destroying Paris, based on his readings of Nostradamus. I ran with this image and went where it led me creating an apocalyptic chain of events. This track always ended our live set as it allowed for long Neil Young-esque guitar solos with dive bombing guitar riffs.
