Song lyrics
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

This song is so beautiful.
Its eerie & dark in a very calm and soothing way. It reminds me of gentle rain.

No way, I havn't posted in the song yet?

Anyway, great, great song, one of Evanescence's best underground tracks.

And Amy Lee's haunting voice fits SO GOOD....

I love this song soooo much, I love every Evanescence song!! I have completed my collection now! I have every song by them that is possible to obtain. Even though I feel a little bad about having "you". anyway I first heard this song and Even in Death at the same time and it was just after my best friend from all of my childhood died(actually the first time I heard Evanescence was the day after she died) I related so well to both of the songs and I fell in love with them sooo much! Now I have a band, Morbid Fantasy, ppl tell me I sing like Amy, and that I look ALOT like her, so im hoping my band will make it. but Amy is my idol, I love her to death!! and I love this song!!

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

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.

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
