[@AnjanaNyx]

This IS Within Temptation. I was kind of dissapointed, but this song, this one song, changed it all. I think I'm going to buy Hydra :)

[@JasonKoppel]

Mix5996 let me guess...you skipped Dog days and Edge of the world? :')

[@ArcKing01]

Jason Koppel Dog Days isn't that bad. I would have expected more people to skip over "The Whole World is Watching" but I'm not sure people even gave it a listen.

[@zeak166]

I personally thought The Unforgiving was a lot more well thought, good lyrics and had a nice theme. This isn't bad but I know WT can do so much better ^_^

[@winkyshy2]

i only like the songs that sharon sings in.

[@piseseven6666]

this song fuckin' rocks, man

[@meg_sz]

Seeming as there are tons of people having wars in the comments about what the real lyrics are, here are the lyrics to the chorus, taken out of the official digital lyrics booklet thing that comes with the premium version of Hydra on Itunes: Screaming at the walls of fire, They're closing in on me, I hunger for the vertigo, The Silver Moonlight, It's where I wanna be. Screaming at the walls of fire, But I'm still running free, In the Silver Moonlight I can breathe.

[@titangirl161]

I don't understand why no one actually seems to know what is said in this song- I've looked at different videos and sites, and it seems they all have different choruses in each version. I'd go with your version, if it's the official digital lyric book, but it's still frustrating....

[@snotterwt]

Em979 this is also the in the official deluxe cd :)

[@corvuscries4732]

Yeah it's about being IN the silver moonlight not being fucked up by it.

[@neriwehn]

This is what Within Temptation always have been. Amazing! I love this so much.

[@optimistiq5737]

If somebody wants correct lyrics, BUY THE CD. Otherwise, just enjoy the song and give the guy a break. He was doing all of you a favour by uploading. It is KZbin, people!

[@NexeL_NKC]

I think this is the most epic song ever recorded, along with Paradise (What about Us?) This is hands down my favorite album from WT.

[@CityOfAngels72]

The demo version (in my opinion) wasn't really that heavy, the drums, sounded fake (as well as Dog Days demo version), but this, beyond what I was expected! And Let Us Burn demo version, I thought it was actually the official, I didn't really know how WT could have advanced Let Us Burn, because the demo it'self was so perfect! Thank you WT!!!

[@gabedixon1227]

The growling screamo thing going on is an amazing touch

[@safran2411]

I like the new album (: but I have to say that I miss songs like Jillian or Our solemn hour... ;) But the new album is pretty cool too.

[@pixxiknits4979]

I miss the old school within temptation sound too. :( unfortunately, with a lot of European metal bands when they sign with an American label (In this case Road runner) they tend to become a bit Americanized. which is sad. though I noticed in Edge of the World when she echos the word 'Home' it's a bit of a throw back to their old sound.

[@ArcKing01]

Pixxi Knits I don't know if people even listened to "The Whole World is Watching". Not that bad in my opinion. Not to mention, "Paradise" with Tarja? Operatic awesomeness.

[@theamvgirlx]

...I made a mistake. I let 3 shit songs on this album define if I liked it or not. Listening to the not as famous songs on this album (This song, Let Us Burn, Covered by Roses, Dog Days etc) has changed my mind. Its actually a good album. Not as good as the Unforgiving but I still might buy it.

[@MoonKinkou]

I curious now, what songs are your "3 shit songs". I guess "tell me why" is one of them. For me the 2nd worst would be "Dog Days". The rest of them are great songs imo. :)

[@Travolta77]

Kinkou I think he's refering to the three major single releases from Hydra, "Paradise (what about us)", "And we run" and "Dangerous" Or perhaps even "Whole world is watching" All four tracks have guest performers, which is probably why he don't like 'em.. I think they are all great.. and Hydra is a great album ;-)

[@dreamingofTardises]

theamvgirlx I still liked their sound a bit better with The Silent Force. But WT is an ever evolving band. Their sound changes album to album, part of why they're still my favourite band. Also never listen to the popular stuff to guide your likes. It always fails lol

[@fpsmeter]

Dan Tejsner What about us is total crap, thrashing the same phrase so many times in one song is just unbearable. Same with dangeorus. No finesse at all.

[@arimelissa5305]

Some people say Hydra is not good and I think this is an incredible album. Ok, Mother Earth is better, The Silent Force is better, The Unforgiving is better, but this album is wonderfull, too. I like all Within Temptation ' s albums and this is my favourite band ever!!!

[@deadlynightshade1658]

These albums are not better, just different. All their albums are equally great for me.

[@thesexyskywalker3283]

@@deadlynightshade1658 Best way to put it. Every album is excellent imo. They just have different style.

[@georgianajoldea3939]

I love this song

[@cleokaiba9597]

"Enslavement of the mind" instead of "As they've gone up your mind."

[@AleJuliet]

"Too many shades of Grey" xD funny

[@deadlynightshade1658]

I'm happy they brought back the growls, at least in this particular song. It is an amazing song. Very epic and powerful.

[@Tamayaaah]

I thought she said "I've had patience but it's courage that I need" ... I kind of like that better ...

[@leximcgrath1163]

I'm pretty sure you're right. I'm not trusting these lyrics - "the vertical of silver moonlight"? Some of it is just nonsensical.

[@sergentmaso]

Lexi McGrath You're right, for exemple it's "enslavement of your mind" not "as they've gone up your mind" (wrote in the cd)

[@optimistiq5737]

Lexi McGrath How about buying the original CD and then you can be sure?

[@leximcgrath1163]

Opti Mistiq Because I don't like most of the songs and I'm really not worried about it.

[@iknowevery1onearth]

Lexi McGrath"Im hungry for the burning of the silver moonlight" :-)

[@hyperion1028]

Hail Hydra!!

[@Uneclipsed]

Love this song. Also, it's "enslavement of your mind". Not the other thing.

[@ivancoetsee5671]

One of their best.

[@mauriciogalassi5587]

I LOVE SO MUCH THIS SONG... Hydra has AMAZING things. Stop the hate.

[@mauriciogalassi5587]

BEST SONG ON HYDRA

[@EverDream444]

I´ve been a fan of this band for about 8 years, and I don´t know what happened, but all the songs sound alike, no beautiful melodies like there used to be. I like this song, because it reminds me of their older songs, but the rest of the album is just kinda meh -.-

[@MarcRuizSobrino]

Within Temptation looks like a rock band instead of a symphonic group, I don't like this year. I prefer these 3 albums: The Silent Force>Mother Earth>The Heart of Everything. In this album, only I like this song and Paradise. Sorry for my english. Kisses :D

[@EverDream444]

Yeah, they´ve become too mainstream, which is sad :/ those albums are also my favorites :).. your English is great :D

[@daniel.t.pickering5128]

***** I agree I'm not keen on their new cd. I liked the last album, and a lot of their older music. hopefully next album will be back to some of their beautiful melodies. I might go see them in concert in april. :)

[@MarcRuizSobrino]

Ice Queen, Somewhere, The Howling, The Truth Beneath The Rose, these are good songs. And now, sharon sings with a rapper...

[@sonicnator]

Marc Ruiz I'm not a rap fan in any sense of the word(aside from Eminem being a guilty pleasure ever once in a while), however that should not prevent Within Temptation from branching out their sound. or at least experimenting with it. Would you rather them be stagnant and not develop any further than Heart of Everything? You should give And We Run a chance. It's different, yet it surprisingly works.

[@phoenix9434]

This song is badass

[@winterice9780]

hey Jaguarking02's lyrics, I just want to let you know I like the way you do the lyrics. its cool! thxs

[@mydream881]

only loved the beginning and ending of the song .... :/

[@nightangel972000]

You have the lyrics in the chorus wrong. Screaming at the walls of fire They're closing in on me I hunger for the vertigo, the silver moonlight It's where I wanna be Screaming at the walls of fire But I'm still running free In the silver moonlight I can breathe

[@kdeck1258]

+Stacey Vermilyea Are you sure it's "In the silver moonlight I Can Breathe" cause during the song she says "to many shades of grey I Cannot Breathe" I don't know it would just make more sense if she said "In the silver moonlight I can't Breathe" Just saying Maybe i'm wrong.

[@nightangel972000]

No, because I've looked up the lyrics in three different websites they all say the same thing.

[@kdeck1258]

Oh ok just wondering. It's just weird though lol you'd figured she say Can't considering when she says Cannot. Oh well.

[@kdeck1258]

+Stacey Vermilyea Actally i looked at some websites to some say can't while other say can and some of these websites are giving the lyrics by other people so it could be can't.

[@piseseven6666]

+Stacey Vermilyea interesting indeed, thank you

[@ProfesseurLouis]

Superbe

"Owwwowwwe!!" 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐺🐺🐺🐺wolves, powers, were there is full moon a wolf out howl.

[@safran2411]

Pixxi Knits Yeah I can unterstand you. You`re right. It's with the most bands like this... (Sry for my english)

[@nagisaaki8927]

Que canción más bonita. 😁 No sé como es que a 31 personas no les gustó

[@jezzterlezet220]

por que son unos imbeciles, ese es el resumen que te doy. y esta es mi cancion favorita

[@t.homelessg.9238]

a 41 roñosos no les gusto :v ekisde :V

[@jmzfrostmane]

Love this ! :)

[@conroid000]

I saw it as a suggestion and I never heard of the band before I think I like them :D

[@CmdPingu]

I enjoy this music

[@erickagilbert7310]

I've been a fan of this band since about 2007. I'm not a big fan of growlers (or grunters) I think they're called. However, I have listened to this album every day at least once since I got it on the 12th. My only complaint is, what's up with the rapper?!

[@t52583]

Enslavement of your mind? Fucking drunk out of my mind right now but I'm pretty sure these lyrics are way off.

[@danahorton6662]

So, I'm listening to the song for the first time right now. And, I think it is bow down, not don't. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

[@adrianaguzman1665]

Sharon!! 😍 WT los amo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sphinxrising6563]

OMG, I love this band & her voice.....................

[@stygianwanderer]

I haven't listened to all of the songs yet, but this is my favourite so far. What I'm liking about Hydra so far is the variety in the songs.

[@IceWolfbrony]

10/10 werewolves would recommend

[@eerlijk13]

I realy realy like this song!! Back to their beginning years!

[@jajaapaja2030]

Superb, wonderfull.

[@MegaSeaShel]

I seriously love how there are two different versions of this song

[@1Randoman]

The intro is beautiful

[@lilacsnlight777]

Love it!!

[@MHIBlee]

i prefer the old albums , this one is more "popular" but its OK

[@ArcKing01]

In my opinion, the older albums sound more "Evanescence"-y with most of those songs being more mellow, orchestrated and, dare I say, emo-ish. It's not that they're bad. I really loved the Heart of Everything Album. But this album has a lot more emphasis on their rock and metal aspects, which I enjoy. But that's probably just a matter of taste when it comes to the difference in these albums.

[@IshbelSoprano]

ArcKing01 You know, I really dislike when people say Within Temptation sounds like Evanescence. Within Temptation has been on the business way longer than Evanescence, yet instead of saying Evanescence sounds like Within Temptation, they say it the other way around. Even Sharon on interviews has said that she has never used Evanescence as an influence to their album, that they've had their own style since way before them and that "The Heart of Everything" was just part of their evolving style. Don't get me wrong, I understand your opinion and agree in some part with it, but I just think that people instead of saying that WT sounds like Evanescence, they should say Evanescence sounds like Within Temptation.

[@ArcKing01]

IshyIMB017 Keep in mind that I - like many - listened to or heard of Evanescence before Within Temptation. There are still a lot of people I know that haven't heard of Within Temptation yet

[@IshbelSoprano]

ArcKing01 I'm quite aware of that, Within Temptation is obviously not as famous as Evanescence, I just think that before giving out an opinion like that, people should keep facts in mind or at least look for information about it. It's like when you first meet your friend's mom, you're not gonna tell your friend "your mom looks so much like you!" cause obviously the mom was born first, your friend looks like his/her mom, even if you've known your friend way before the mother. I'm probably being a smart ass right now, but being a big Within Temptation fan, I find it quite offensive when people say that they're the ones copying Evanescence, when it's obvious it was their style way before Evanescence came.

[@ArcKing01]

IshyIMB017 Relax. I think Evanescence is good, but I greatly enjoy Within Temptation, especially since I only just discovered them a few months ago. Besides, don't you think that because people know Evanescence more that they might enjoy this since they've never heard of Within Temptation? You're getting offended over a single comment. WT came before Evanescence. Alright. I can remember it now. just please don't act like this over a simple comment.

[@FirestarsLegacy]

This is an incredible song, but I desperately hope they release a version without the growling. It's so out of place.

[@ArcKing01]

I think it's the same guy who did the growling for Jane Doe. I like the growling, personally. They do have an instrumental version on KZbin, though

[@ArcKing01]

Trollaukinn I only discovered WT this past Christmas day. Whatever album it is, i love them. I honestly like this newer one a little more than the others.

[@optimistiq5737]

Growling is exactly why I like this song :)

[@titangirl161]

In their earliest albums, there was growling too, and I think it actually contrasts quite nicely with Sharon den Adel's voice. Not every ones' thing, I know, but I like it.

[@TheatreofSymphony]

Growling WAS Within Temptation darling. This goes back to their roots

[@KKluzbel]

This is my second favorite from Hydra,for me What about us? is the masterpiece!! But I love this one too.You did a nice job putting the lyrics,but the lyrics going around the web are wrong!! I don`t mean any disrespect for you but I think you have a few errors in the lyrics so here are the ones so you can edit your video. --------------------------------------------------------- Can`t move on,the fear is tying you down. I don`t know why,enslavement of your mind In the silver moonlight I can breathe. I hunger for the vertigo,the silver moonlight. I hit the pavement,going down.I won`t bow,down!! I`m impatient but it`s colors that I need. The dreams I have ain`t tainted. The only way to make them real. I hope you fix it.And thanks for placing lyrics so non-english speakers can enjoy the music! Greetings....

[@julesrules1278]

though I know Within Temptation for over 10 years now, I was today days old to get to know this song... shame on me!!!!!

[@samplename8911]

"I can breathe" or "I can't breathe"?

[@samplename8911]

I can’t hear it, but the first option fits the meaning.

[@argonoth75]

I don't know why people say the growling doesn't fit with the song. This song is pretty clearly about being between a rock and a hard place about fighting against opposition a song about being in a desperate situation against great odds "I'm hellbound in this life, keep fighting this endless war" 'Going down I won't bow NO! "Screaming at the walls of fire they're closing in on me" The growling captures the screaming and raging against the constant obstacles in your way and the fact that despite all your efforts you're gaining little ground the walls of fire are closing in but you're still fighting to get out the girt and determination, the battle cry, the pain of the fight, the exertion. IMO the growling couldn't fit any better in this song.

[@campanula5258]

Werewolf

[@MadhanBhavani]

Sharon's voice is just so beautiful!! Just wondering, if she's mezzo soprano, what fach is she? Coloratura?

[@NorthernSP]

Great...

[@sonoleone]

nice

[@Lolligator]

Your video's are pretty great, but you should really check the lyrics man. Quite some of your videos have a lot of mistakes.

[@FabArendier]

Why in intro and at 4'38" there's the same riff than the song of the Cowboys Fringants "Etoiles filantes" ??

[@iorimagnetic4741]

Esta re joya esta cancion XD

[@sieghart1100]

It's really good compared to what I've heard of Hydra. I think if I had the choice i would only buy this song.

[@ninokazoo6089]

yeah TheBlackAngelDragon's right.

[@ricktrautman8041]

absolutely love this song, my favorite off the album , little confused about the meaning of the lyrics anybody have an idea what they mean , would be a great help if you do thanks .

[@paulthomas8884]

Snowboarding soundtrack.

[@renatawalleri324]

Absolutely fantastic! ❤

[@BridgeToNowhere-ni8bm]

I like it a lot, theres some power in it, but without operatic arrangements its just not the same :(

[@FalconFBDT64]

Despite the growling vocals this is a pretty decent song.

[@optimistiq5737]

What's the name of the font you used?? The white one?

[@carmencoetsee2529]

This is Very Cooll!!!!!

[@АтилаБ]

Just a wonderful song has not been on a tour of Russia, and which will need to go for it

[@sylviederoo733]

Wooooow!!!!!

[@thesexyskywalker3283]

Anyone thinks Supernova sounds like this one?

[@jajaapaja2030]

Superb song , excelent music .

cool song really reflets my life

[@Edelweiss1102]

awesome

[@jozsefbiro1849]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@agostinhobrito965]

Amazing!

[@federicoperez7311]

I think the demo version was better. It sounded cleaner and robert's long growling part was substituted by a simple guitar solo with less appeal than the growling, considering within temptation hasn't used that resource since Enter.

[@ArcKing01]

I thought Jane Doe had the growling too? From the Silent Force Album?

[@AngelaFarrer]

I love this song 🖤

[@loes6801]

Oh my god this song is good.

[@killuazoldyck503]

Just listened to the Nightcore version.... my first thought when the song started was "Slow Ride" (It's a song).

[@volvot5turbo]

I have only been a fan of WT for about 2 weeks, which meant I have grown accustomed to Angels, Mother Earth, Faster, What Have You Done, etc so when I bought Hydra I missed the choral/goth/orchestra feel......seeing them live on 11th April so hope I'm not disappointed :-)

[@Joeri.vdList]

assome song and I love the grunts. but I'll ask me whoe does the grunts

[@dkerstanski]

Robert does the gutturals

[@mauriciocorazza8671]

Love this song, hate this album.

[@felipeblancoleyton2067]

Con 3 canciones. Ya me convencio este album. Igual me gusta este album

[@NovuscourvousTornflesh]

Who is doing the death/black metal singing parts ?

[@brunacarvalho2735]

+Novuscourvous Robert.

[@NovuscourvousTornflesh]

Bruna Carvalho oh

[@danny_ddrummer]

those are not death/black metal singing parts.... it's called a scream or growl

[@NovuscourvousTornflesh]

Daniel Prochazka Ok

[@pottertheavenger1363]

They are used to empathize a word or a phrase, and when done well and on time, they can make a song feel powerful.

[@theangelofmetal7119]

Who makes the growlings?

[@SertanejaMusic]

Robert Westerholt, her husband, founder and now ex-member of the band. He used to travel around with the band and perform live, but has stopped to take care of the kids at home.

[@theangelofmetal7119]

Thank you!

[@skumfukrocktom9691]

he is only working with the band in the studio. thats why his growls are on this album. eventhough he doesn't tour with the band anymore as said before ;)

[@blossomblue1]

What is this song about?

[@pottertheavenger1363]

About a werewolf, duh. No, honestly, the song is about freedom, but in a fantasy metaphor.

[@blossomblue1]

Thank's ;)

[@paulthomas8884]

It's about snowboarding.

[@oinnsnroinsson9291]

Is it just the band members who are screaming? Does anyone know?

[@AeolethNionian]

+Óðinn Snær Óðinsson I would assume it's their one guitar player. They did stuff like this on their first album except way darker. Check out Candles.

[@oinnsnroinsson9291]

Yeah I saw here on youtube when other singer came to the stage and sang with them Candles live

[@TheDustyForest]

+Óðinn Snær Óðinsson it's Robert Westerholt, he doesn't play with them live any more but he still records rhythm guitars for the albums, as Nich Adams said, he did vocals like this on the first album (Enter), their first EP (The Dance) and on a couple of b-sides later on

[@pottertheavenger1363]

They are used to empathize a word or a phrase, and when done well and on time, they can make a song feel powerful. I have yet to find a female singer that can sing like this and then growl a little.

[@AeolethNionian]

Potter TheAvenger Nightwish's new singer Floor Jansen. Saw her live and she threw me for a loop. Arch Enemy's new vocalist when she was with The Agonist (look up Thank You Pain), Arkona's singer's pretty good, that's just off the top of my head but there's quite a bit if you actually look for them.

[@NoSexForU]

At Last!
