Im falling in l*ve with this absolutely moving and emotional piece of music... some great and thoughtful lines, being my favorite

"I was feeling god's pain"

Where do you guys get this amazing stuff... it seems so real, it's in fact amazing. you must have a great voice actor.. dammit this is good... in spite of a little too goth oriented with the synths, but that's forgivable.:wave:
 
Everyone on this forum seems to be in awe of this track...for good reason, it's devastating musically and shows incredible compositional skill, and the vocal samples punctuate the drama unfolding in the music rather than distract from it.
 
hmmmm... well, it sounds to me it should be sermons. Unless he refers to Simon, (the biblical one..but isn't that a looong shot? :confused: ) Or Simonize (as in a well polished surface?? :D )
Nope, I'd go for sermons.

Lord, if you don't help I can't get through this. I can't.
Lord, I'm too old for games. (Fool's games?)
And I'm tired of rhetoric, meaningless rhetoric that never changes things.
Lord, just help me. Help me

I was feeling God's pain!
And I've never had anything that's been any worth to God in my 50 years,
that wasn't born in agony! Never! Never! Dead...empty...
And I know that sermons won't do it.
I know that Revelation won't do it, Covenant won't do it.
I know now, oh my God, do I know it.
Until I hit agony, until I have been anguished over it,
I'm preaching sermons, oh God!

I broke down, and I wept. And I mourned.
Does it matter to you at all? I can't handle this.
I can barely make it in today.
Little by little you're losing it...
The love of God, the love of Christ!
People I know that were my friends
And I see them go one by one, some of my closest friends
You're changing! You know what you were
You're changing! Little by little something's happening to you
Will it bring you to your knees?
That's all the Devil wants to do,
Is get the fight out of you, and kill it!
So you won't labor in prayer anymore
You won't weep before God anymore
Go to Hell! No weeping, not a word of prayer, it's all ruined!
No laughing. This is life and death.
When the walls go down, and ruin sets in
Where are the tears? Where's the mourning?
Where's the confessing Love of Christ?
The agony...of God's heart
WE have sinned.

Too old for games, me thinks. That's pretty accurate.

There's the other When The Walls Go Down thread in the bottom of the page with another tad different transcript of the speech too.
 
That is a great song. I'm a new fan. I went to Cleveland for the first show of the tour. Went there for Iced Earth but ended up loving Evergrey. I wish they would have had a longer set. I heard they would be back in US in Fall. I can't quit listening to Inner Circle or Recreation Day. :worship:

Hey, same here, minus the Recreation Day part.
