Fall of the American Empire
"It's about a big party that the White-House is throwing. They're having this huge, decadent lavish party. Almost with an ironic knowledge that their empire is falling, but they're sort of in denial about it. So they have this huge Great Gatsby-ish party. That's the idea. It's playing apon the ignorance and arrogance of the American Administration. They're country is going down the tubes and they're having a party to celebrate it."
"It’s self-explanatory. At first, it appears to be an 11-minute finale, but the band actually buries a hidden track midway through it. “Sybil II” is the sequel to “Sybil I” from the band’s first album. It’s a tribute to our tour manager, who happens to be my long-time girlfriend, for being out on the road and encouraging me to keep playing music and for being a wonderful woman whom I love very much. That’s dedicated to her."
