I can imagine Meat and Paul being delighted to have this song as a fitting comment on the world's race to destruction .. "And I see the earth bending in the wind". The message fits the theme of the album perfectly, the lyrics capture that sense of impending doom yet hold out some hope of regeneration with the biblical references to 40 days and flood, and there is in my view nothing to complain about in terms of the vocals or the production. The introduction is great, Meat hits the high notes and holds them beautifully, delivers the message with feeling, and I love the way the guitar is brought to the foreground at the end. Again the sense of it being a live performance rather than a studio album is so strong.
Not a thing I'd have changed, works perfect, so 10.
