They didn't need to repeat this beautiful quote ever again - since the music spoke and continues to speak for itself. We sing Chester's lines. We all do that. We take our role very very seriously since the band returned like a Phoenix - with the Order of Chester.  We sang again - in Mumbai. We sang Numb and Faint and Crawling and Castle of Glass with Emily and some of us who had not yet by-hearted Heavy is ...
