Dead Winter Dead: Difference between revisions

Christmas Eve comes, Serdjan and Katrina are at their respective posts listening to the cello player's Christmas carols between the gunfire and explosions. Suddenly the music stops. Both Serdjan and Katrina abandon their positions to investigate the old man's fate. They arrive at the square at the same time and after a moment of tense fear realize they've both come for the same reason. Together, they find the old man is dead in the snow and the cello smashed. A single drop of liquid falls onto the old man's face, they look up to see a cloudless sky and a stone gargoyle in the church belfry. Serdjan can take no more of the war and explains to Katrina that he intends to escape, offering her a chance to come along. She refuses at first because all she sees is his enemy uniform. He pleads with her, explaining that there's more to him then his misguided and renounced faction, and eventually she understands and joins him in exile from their fallen home.

 

* [[All There in the Manual]]: The CD booklet provides the basic story with many details not found in the lyrics. Details such as the character's ''names''.

* [[Arms Dealer]]: They get their own song, "Doesn't Matter Anyway". Sarajevo is a hot new market for them, there are plenty of recently ex-Soviet weapons to sell, and they remind their customers: today's war might end, be sure to stock up for the ''next'' one.
