Within Temptation - Wireless (Visualizer)

'Wireless’ marks the start of a new era - one in which we keep our DNA alive but build further upon our sound with powerful riffs, contemporary breakdowns, and epic choruses.

This single takes aim at those who, hungry for war and turmoil, manipulate and control the media./

Sharon: "'Wireless' is a song about a soldier who goes to war convinced that he is going for a good cause. He’s indoctrinated by government-controlled media and thinks he’s going to be welcomed back as a savior, only to find out he has been used. This has resulted in people seeing him as a brutal conqueror instead, and now he finds himself on the wrong side. His life and the lives of many are deceived and destroyed.

Lyrics:
It’s the ultimate sacrifice.
Like a God, you threw the dice
and then you left us all wireless.

I started to wonder, wonder.
Why is your smile so callous?
I’m here going under, under.
Why is your heart so heartless.
I know, I know.
I’m such a fool.

It’s here, you wear the mark of shame..
It’s here, just like the mark of cain

You never cared for us, just our halo.
With its glorious force to draw more souls in.
You never cared for us, our dreams evaporating.
You left us here without a safety-pin.
You never cared for us, just our halo.
Our Bloody halo.

Try to elevate your demise.
You got everything sanctified.
All is shattered and is wireless.

We're forced through the gauntlet, gauntlet.
Like mice in a maze, we're running.
We know we go under, under.
Like moths to the flames we're falling.
We know, we know, It is cruel.
It’s here, you wear the mark of shame.
It’s here, just like the mark of cain.

You never cared for us, just our halo.
With its glorious force to draw more souls in.
You never cared for us, our dreams evaporating.
You left us here without a safety-pin.
You never cared for us, just our halo.
Our Bloody halo.

It will reach for you.
It will try to turn you over.
The feeling should wake you up.
It will reach for you.
When it all falls apart.
It's frightening, they’re watching you, just watching you.

You never cared for us, just our halo.
With its glorious force to draw more souls in.
You never cared for us, our dreams evaporating.
You left us here without a safety-pin.
You never cared for us, just our halo.
Our Bloody halo.

They keep reinventing themselves, always fresh but familiar. One of the rare groups that can do that constantly.

Let's take a moment to appreciate how well Sharon sings, please. Just a moment that takes us to eternity.

Thanks For This Video!!! As a former Military guy, I seen the effects of war, and the careless use of "Heros" with "Halos" get thrown into the fray. The Leaders who make these decisions often have no care for the lives of the ones who die or sacrifice. Thanks again Within Temptation for representing the chaos of war in this video and showing that it's all nations. And were all in this chaos together young and old. Much Love and gratitude. Hopefully someday our leaders will get caught by the mark of "Cain"

The core is that badges are changing, but wars don't stop. And people suffer. It's terrible!
Peace to everyone 🕊️

[Salim.Rodamir]

Madness. Old age kills the young. Hatred, anger, lust. Circle after circle, cycle after cycle. From generation to generation. High slogans, loud promises. Wars, wars, wars. And at the end, negotiations. After countless victims, damaged destinies.... Madness!
I have been listening to you for more than 20 years. Thank you! Amazing! Always!

[Zoltan_Matravolgyi]

3:57 This part... Oh my God.... it's haunting and beautiful at the same time!!! :o
