Soon the melody enters in the tenor line and is joined by the basses to give a rich sound. God's glory shines through the brilliant 'all in' section and then the song peacefully ends much as it began.

The Darkness of Fury is a contemplation of the brutality of war especially the wars of the Middle East since 1948. Following a brief and violent introduction a terse chromatic Fugue from Hell ensues--demons chasing demons. A romantic transition played by the strings is a fleeting ray of hope for peace. But this is short lived as the Fugue returns bringing the piece to its brutal and violent end.
