Background

This song was based on a poem written by Ben Moody. He's also reading it in the background.

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

The Latin chant 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. The Latin is translated to English as:

O Jesus, King most wonderful!

Thou Conqueror reknowned!

Thou Sweetness most ineffable!

in whom all joys are found!

Lyrics

[Iesu, Rex amirabilis] 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 Oh I, 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 Oh I, I want to go back to believing in everything [Iesu, Rex amirabiliset triumphator nobilis dulcedo ineffabilis totus desiderabilis] As the years pass by before my face [totus desiderabilis] 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 [Iesu, Rex amirabilis] 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 [Iesu, Rex amirabilis]
