20-09-2007 » How cruel is the golden rule?
When the lives we lived are only golden-plated

Though I carried karats for everyone to see
And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies

We dedicate this album to anybody, people said couldn´t make it.
To the fans that held us down till everybody came around.
Welcome. It´s here.
