I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now
Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all
I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now
Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything
Iesu, Rex amirabilis
et triumphator nobilis,
dulcedo ineffabilis
totus desiderabilis
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
Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything
Oh where, where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything
I still remember

vocal I think this song is referring to kids even younger than 15. I'm only 18 but hearing this song makes me wish so much that I had not tried to grow up so fast when I was younger. This band is incredible. I've always varied in the music I listen to but I am obsessed with this band, they are incredible.

vocal One of their best songs, and that says a lot...
REALLY great lyrics, and I just love it when she sings "where has my heart gone" it's just so beautiful
baby_elephant...If I am not mistaken the middle lyrics are this. (Note I doubt these are exact but everyone I've had listen pretty much agrees they are as accurate as you're going to get)
So, without further adieu...
As the years pass by...before my face
As wars rage before me
Finding myself in these last days of existance
This parasite inside me...I forced it out
In the darkness of the storm...lies an evil...
But it's me (echoes "it's me")...
So shooka shooka to my hour of trying to figure that out
Also, I've heard many people they are reciting a chant in Latin. That is FALSE. The band themselves have denied that though for whatever reason, they didn't post the actual lyrics on their forum.

vocal Track #6 on Origin. The female vocal ensemble is composed of: Suvi Petrajajvri, Sara Moore, Catherine Harris and Samantha Strong.
According to MutantQuasar, an Evboarder, the Latin chanting repeated throughout the song is:
Iesu, Rex admirabilis
et triumphator nobilis,
dulcedo ineffabilis,
totus desiderabilis.
Translated in English to:
O Jesus, King most wonderful!
Thou Conqueror renowned!
Thou Sweetness most ineffable!
in whom all joys are found!
The above is preciesly what ben and amy said in an old Interview, which can be found on evboard.com
