[I really enjoyed this, but dont feel like talking about it right now; its quite late at the time Im listening to this and I need a break.]

I know they don't identify as animals or shapeshifters, but some of those lyrics make me wish this was literally about a shapeshifter war--with the "if you come as snakes, we'll become birds" it's actually pretty easy to read the song that way.

Part of me wants to give the song a 10 purely for that sort of image, but it's just not very exciting. For a metal song, it's really rather quiet and the chorus of HU HU HU HU HU HU HU HU is not as intimidating as they seem to wish it was.

Also, isn't it kinda weird that we have two songs referencing Genghis Khan? Especially songs that are so different?

[Final Thoughts: If this were louder, it'd work as a wrestler's theme. I can just picture someone posing as fireworks go off and the audience starts the HU HU HU HU chant.

As usual, this is another song that's better than I make it sound. I love the choice of imagery here and the repeated animal metaphors, and how easy it is to imagine a magical shapeshifter war.]

To be fair they are Mongolian so two songs about Genghis Khan shouldn't be too weird!
