Before The Shot (Kleinhans Dunkle)

Story Behind The Song

This is a collaboration with musical genius Kurt Kleinhans. Great job Kurt - the song is about a husband whose wife is murdered in cold blood. The man accused of the crime pleads innocent however, the husband doesn't believe him and wants to kill the man on trial - his friend tries to convince him otherwise.

Lyrics

The clock keeps ticking, the clock keeps ticking, the clock keeps ticking
It never stops
The clock keeps ticking, it never never stops

Only God knows, Only God knows
What's before the, What's before the
What's before the shot.

What's Before The Shot

Cain killed his brother, his blood is crying from the ground.
Are you much better, you'd better put those, put those bullets down

Calm down

Are you much better, you'd better put those bullets down.

Let the courts handle this
Put em down.

This a brooding, dark song with music reinforcing the theme. The pulsating, industrial type synth parts and solid drums team up with a "sinister" vocal track to channel a Depeche Mode-esque vibe. Cool and cohesive tune.... great job.
