In December 2008 the band entered the House of Music Studios to record their next album 16.6 (Before the Devil Knows You're Dead). They said that "the music includes a lot of the vibe of our very first albums" and that "a new Primal Fear album always contained some new musical challenges, real surprises". The Album was released on 22 May in Europe and 9 June in the US. The Video for the song Six Time Dead (16.6) has premiered on 8 May on the band's official MySpace channel. The Album reached No. 46 on the German, No. 52 in Swedish and No. 28 in the Japanese album charts.

Out In The Fields
Primal Fear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn't matter
if you're wrong or if you're right.
It makes no difference
if you're black or if you're white.
All men are equal
No colour or religion
ever stopped the bullet from a gun.
Out in the fields.
The fighting has begun.
Out on the streets.
They're falling one by one.
Out from the skies.
A thousand more will die each day.
Death is just a heartbeat away.
It doesn't matter
if you're left or to the right.
Don't try to hide behind the cause,
they want to fight.
There'll be no prisoners taken
when the day is done.
No flag, no uniform
ever stopped the bullet from a gun.
Out in the fields.
The fighting has begun.
Out on the streets.
They're falling one by one.
Out from the skies.
A thousand more will die each day.
Death is just a heartbeat away.
There's no communication,
noone to take the blame.
The cries of every nation,
they're falling on deaf ears again.
Out in the fields.
Out in the fields.
They're falling one by one.
Out in the fields.
No flag has ever stopped
the bullet from a gun.
Death is just a heartbeat away.
Out in the fields.
A heartbeat away.
Out in the fields.
Death is just a heartbeat away.
Out in the fields.
A heartbeat away.
Out in the fields.
In the fields.
The fighting has begun.
Out on the streets.
They're falling one by one.
Out from the skies.
A thousand more will die each day.
OUT!
The song "Out in the Fields" by Primal Fear is an unreleased cover version of the song originally done by Phil Lynott and Gary Moore. The lyrics of the song are centered around the theme of war and how it does not discriminate against race or religion. The song highlights the futility of war and how no flag, no uniform, no race, or religion can ever stop a bullet from a gun.
The lyrics describe the onset of war where people begin to fall on the streets, out in the fields and from the skies. It does not matter if you are left or right, black or white, no one can escape the onslaught of war. The song suggests that even though nations cry out for peace, their call goes unheard as no one is willing to take the blame for the wars.
The song is a commentary on the inhumanity of war and how it has no respect for life or morality. It portrays the horrors of war and how it can cruelly end even the most innocent lives. The song is a message to the people to be aware of the realities of war and to ensure that it never happens again.
