    The Intro starts like To Live Is To Die and has the same structure as the Intro of ...And Justice For All.
    The tempo is faster, like Dyers Eve.
    In the middle of the song it has an interlude similar to Blackened, and then the slowdown turns into the faster section of the song like ...And Justice For All, And in the end it ends in a dry way like Dyers Eve.

    What if The Thing That should not be was on St.Anger?
    What if Dream no more was on the Black Album?
    Great job on all your remixes!
