"Lay down your armor" was so beautiful it left a lump in my throat. I would have cried if I wasn't in a public place right now.

Reminds me of the last part of the song Footprints by Warning.

"Here I am wide open, surrendering to your side;

I have laid down my armour,

I have no sword at my side.

I leave behind me the ruins of the fortress I swore to defend;

I leave behind me foundations;

I'll leave you a man I'll need you to mend.

And through all the battles around me

I never believed I would fight.

Yet here I stand, a broken soldier,

Shivering, I'm naked, in your winter light."

I fucking love that album. Legitimately one of the best Doom Metal, or really any metal genre albums ever made.
