Another excellent Judas point-of-view song about the Passion is U2's "Until the End of the World."

I'm not sure how high the hill was but it is interesting that it was not within the Jerusalem city walls. This complies with the Old Testament dictate that sacrifices should be outside of the city.

Great song. Rick Altizer happens to be tremendously talented and great friends with another Christian, Adrian Belew. Belew has produced all Altizer's albums. This track is amazing vocally, lyrically, and musically. Rick is playing acoustic guitar down the center, while both Rick and Adrian are playing electric e-bow flourishes and solos at the same time, one in the right channel and one in the left.

I swear Mac Powell sounds just like Travis Tritt.
