Fate and Faith in a Haunting Prayer
The song 'Who by Fire' was inspired by a prominent Jewish prayer, Una Tana Toke, recited on Yom Kippur. The prayer contemplates fate, questioning who will live or die, and how their lives will end. It covers various potential ways of death including by water, fire, sword, wild beast, famine, and thirst. Some find discomfort in the idea that their destiny is determined by God on that day.
