-* The longest track on the album. The title has at least two distinct readings, and the album supports both:
-** '''Goya''''s ''El sueño de la razón produce monstruos'' ("The sleep of reason brings forth monsters", ''Los Caprichos'' No. 43, 1799) &mdash; rationality abandoned makes space for demonic imagery. Consistent with an album called ''[[Inferno]]''.
-** The '''''via negativa''''' / '''apophatic''' mystical tradition (Pseudo-Dionysius, Meister Eckhart, ''The Cloud of Unknowing''): the soul's ascent to God requires the abandoning of discursive reason, because God is beyond categories. Reason ''departs'' in the direction of gnosis &mdash; the ecstatic, unitive, wordless encounter.
-* The runtime &mdash; '''6:14''' &mdash; is a common Christian shorthand for Matthew 6:14 ("For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you").
