TEotWaWKI Soundtrack: Red Sector A by Rush

The whole purpose of your PEM playlist is to attract the undead and get your adrenaline pumping for that task at hand. Red Sector A certainly does this. The fact that it is itself about a TEotWaWKI topic makes it more poignant.

I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed
A wound that will not heal
A heart that cannot feel
Hoping that the horror will recede
Hoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed

While this was written about the Holocaust, I find it just as relevant to what we went through: the constant hope that the horror would recede.
