Informazioni generali

Scritta da: A. Lee e B. Moody

Originariamente registrata su Whisper EP nel 1998. Esistono sei versioni della canzone. La terza versione demo di Whisper contiene estrazioni dalla William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet soundtrack. Questa versione inizia con l'introduzione di "Death Scene" e "O Verona"[1]. Qualche versione del brano può essere trovata in internet e in molti cd di bootleg (vedi Fake). Una versione ha unesplosione' di rumore prima del coro dell'introduzione (a circa 0:29 minuti). Un'altra versione non possiede questo suono, ma ha un suono 'a scatti' che appare dopo i 0:30 minuti.

All'inizio della versione originale, quella nel Whisper EP, è presente un'introduzione che non è altro che una parte della canzone suonata prima che culmina in una frase dal film My World Dies Screaming, anche conosciuto come "Terror in the Haunted House" (1958)[2], lo stesso film dal quale sono prese le frasi in [[Understanding]/it|Understanding].

Nella versione contenuta in Fallen, alla fine si può sentire "Servatis a periculum, servatis a maleficum", che, con qualche errore, è la traduzione in latino di "Salvaci dal pericolo, salvaci dal cattivo".

Testi

Fallen Version

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
If I will it all away

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
If I will it all away

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me, I fear

She beckons me shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet the end [I rise to meet my end]

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

[Servatis a periculum] Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
[Servatis a maleficum] Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
[Servatis a periculum] Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
[Servatis a maleficum] Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

[Servatis a periculum] Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
[Servatis a maleficum] Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
[Servatis a periculum] Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
[Servatis a maleficum] Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

Servatis a periculum
Servatis a maleficum
Servatis a periculum
Servatis a maleficum
Servatis a periculum
Servatis a maleficum
Servatis a periculum
Servatis a maleficum
Servatis a periculum
Servatis a maleficum
Servatis a periculum
Servatis a maleficum
Servatis a periculum

Death in- Death in it's most hideous form

Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]

Intro Lyrics required
Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth [this truth] drives me into [into] madness [madness]
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away [will it all away]

Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
