Serj wrote Charades on the piano well before Hypnotize/Mezmerize. You can find videos of him playing it and a few other songs at what seems like a recital. My assumption would be that he was contemplating putting it on Hypnotize/Mezmerize but it didn't fit the theme.
Wow just noticed Serj is singing what sounds like a rough version of Charades/The Charade at about 1:58. Interesting to know that that song ad been sitting in his mind for 4+ years.
@CMunkie007 Yeah... I first heard it in there, so I thought it was a new song for the next release! But there was no SOAD next release... Anyway, it's a really good song.
4:40 till the end. that would be the most awsome music video! the last song u hear on the double album and its the last defing song u hear of the band before they went on hiatus
the artwork for all there albums,and videos is from daron malakians father,hes an amazing artist and him and daron are very close and darons got his dads work to a whole new set of ppl that probablly wouldnt see it other than through system,i know system have for years yes thet r awesome ppl in real life daron and i are the closest by far,we dont go more than a week without speaking,dont ask me if/when there getting back together thx goin to 420,as i walk my dog,Che(named after Ernesto Guevara)
What's great about them is that they know how to chill and have a good time, but when it comes down to their art, they are very serious and passionate. They have opened my mind and inspired me so much! My favorite band of all time!
I fucking agree with serj when he said " what is missing in this world it's the appreciation of non physical life." ultra - materialism, technocratic socity, babylone. We need to believe in something non physical to transcend ourself: God, Values... It 's the only one way to get out of this nihilist and vicious edge.
That song is "Charades" composed by Serj but it is not in any album. You can see it live at the Axis of Justice Benefit Concert in 2004 or in some recent live clips of Serj.
She is obviously an armenian woman crying the death of their sons during ww1. like the song says: Welcome to the soldier side, where there's no one here but me.

@TheJack2895 Sorry! I was wrong. I was in a hurry and didn't take my time. It is “Attack” from Hypnotize, just the first song of the album.

what i'd love is if i cud actually here the final recording for Charades which serj is singing at 1 59.
i loved the live video of the song at axis of justice but i reckon it'd sound even more amazin with drummin and maybe even guitars
