I'm sure this probably has been discussed in the past but I like both versions of OD, but I must say ironically I've noticed that my fave part of both versions is the same part that is different in each.
I just love: "take my hand, live while you can, don't you see your dreams lie right the palm of your hand "(it had special personal meaning for me too...I used to have it my aim profile as a message to 1 person in particular in my life at that time.
But after hearing "take my hand, live while you can, If we walk now, we will divide and conquer this land, divide and conquer this land..." , from the demo release, it just changes the song's message for me (in a good way) that is hard to verbalize. Anyways, just my 2 cents that I had to get off my chest.
