The original layout of the track was written somewhere in 2008. In 2009 strings were added to create a more interesting harmony and new lyrics were written.
Even though the song was already introduced to the band during that time, it was only in 2010 - 2011 that we started practicing it and finally record it.
lyrics
And I aim my words
like a gun to the troat
As I aim my bow
Shooting pain to the world
As I make my way
Through the wall of creatures in front of me
And I try to find you
Bury my heart where the hurt can't reach me
See the signs on the weathered walls
Our home collapsed as they're caving in
Silent screams in the eye of the storm
The muted sky devoid of hope
Find ourselves in a state of mind
Where disbelieve is a common thought
Rarely I've been aware of life
Amidst of death we survived
