Written by: A. Lee, B. Moody and D. Hodges

Based on a poem written by Ben Moody. He's also reading it in the background. A slowed-down sample from the song is known as Demise.

The female vocal ensemble is composed of Suvi Petrajajvri, Sara Moore, Catherine Harris, and Samantha Strong.

The Latin chanting repeated throughout the song was not written by Evanescence. It is a snippet from the song "Morning Hymn" from the Preludium of the Broadway version of Sound of Music. According to MutantQuasar, an Evboarder, the Latin translated to English means:

O Jesus, King most wonderful!

Thou Conqueror renowned!

Thou Sweetness most ineffable!

in whom all joys are found!

Ben's poem:

As the years pass by before my face

As wars rage before me

Finding myself in these last days of existence

This parasite inside me I forced it out

In the darkness of the storm

Lies an evil

But it's me

I envy the naive, those with innocent thoughts, ideas and actions. Life totally corrupted my thoughts and the way I see the world now. How can I see anything good with so many bad things in life? As a child, I did not care for such things even though I had to protect myself every day from those who were suppose to protect me. I know life is not easy or fair to some but we have to keep fighting for ourselves to make it all better. I have to break this negative spiral that entrapped me and stands in my way to happiness. The presence of the desire of becoming lifeless is a desire to overcome, even though no one believes in me. I have to make it better for myself and continue with the struggle of life. I know that it is worthwhile in the end and I owe it to myself. You, anyone with similar thoughts and feelings, owe it to yourself too to make your life better for yourself. Don't run or give in to your inner demons, but stand your ground and fight for yourself over and over again because in the end we can be strong enough to defeat them. I love Evanescence because I can relate to so many (if not all) of her songs. I do not feel alone anymore because she understands how I feel with her lyrics.

I still remember the world from the eyes of a child. I refuse to see how evil people grow day by day...I refuse to see how people try to bring each other down instead of helping...I refuse to see how our dreams are failing in front of us...I refuse to believe things will get worse...I refuse to see the world from the grown up's eyes.

This song has such a strong emotional impact on me. I often look back at my childhood days (I'm only 20) and reminisce about the good times I had with my next-door neighbors in the summer. They were my two best friends all throughout my childhood; they moved when I was in 7th grade and I was devastated. I spent all my time hanging out with them, having a good time playing anything from football to Pokémon video games, which I still have a deep nostalgic connection with. I even remember being 5 or 6 years old and playing imaginary games with them -- pretending we were spies or something and dressing up in costumes.I was in a deep depression throughout 7th and 8th grade (even shortly before they moved), mostly due to my performance at school and the pressure my parents put on me to do well. I would make any excuse I could to stay home from school and fell drastically behind, leaving my other friends and classmates always questioning me why I was absent and it pissed me off so much. They'd always say "Why are you sick so much?" Or, "What was it this time?" I'd show up at class completely smothered with makeup homework, not knowing what the hell was going on and my dad, in particular, was fed up with my "laziness." Every day for about 2 years, I pictured what it would be like to commit suicide -- how my parents and peers would react. I was so close to taking all the medications in the medicine cabinet. I was going to write a lengthy note, then mix all sorts of pills together in water, so they'd dissolve, and then drink it as fast as I could. I would cry myself to sleep, thinking no one cared for me, and wake up the next morning with "The Weight of the World" on me.I have Tourette Syndrome, which makes it hard to sit still, along with OCD and ADHD. All of these 3 nuisances are steadily diminishing as I grow older, and I'm now a fully confident, intelligent college student. I've struggled with a video game addiction for the past 7 or 8 years, until shortly before I moved into college, where I am now. Right after I graduated high school, which was no 'walk in a park' for me either, I started taking MMA, kickboxing, and jiu-jitsu classes, and I started getting into bodybuilding. Ever since, I feel absolutely great. Depression doesn't last! This song makes me tear up when I listen to it alone; now you know why. I still will always miss my childhood and my childhood innocence.

Why is everyone so focused on the first verse? By "the eyes of a child" she means before she know of the horrible thinks mankind are capable of. The song is about human trafficking, and being trapped.

I think she is literally the greatest female singer ever. It's shame she hardly makes any new music. Only three albums during her career. Hopefully we get something new soon which will have to be under the Amy Lee banner now that the Evanescence band has been permanently dissolved...really great rock band...it's a tragedy what happened to it.
