Forsaken AUDIO DISABLED DUE TO COPYRIGHT CLAIM (Read Description)

AUDIO SITUATION: READ THIS. The audio was removed by the copyright holders on Jan 23, 2009. I have no control over this and they have every right to want it off of YouTube. I thank them for allowing me to keep the video up, with no strikes, and allowing me to "replace" the audio. You can view this video at livevideo.

THIS VIDEO IS PURELY FAN-MADE AND IS IN NO WAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE MUSICAL ARTIST OR ANIME COMPANY IN ANY WAY.

The idea of this video was in my mind for weeks after listening to Forsaken by Within Temptation one day. It just hit me: The lyrics almost seem to be written specifically for the movie. The song and video are about destruction of human kind as well as the whole planet due to greed and sadness. It's about technology, new developments, how people are feeling forgotten due to everyone else's desire for power, and how the world is turning into something completely different and dying right in front of everyone's eyes.

Special thanks to ZelosWilder & Tasuki for help with converting and giving me support, Adam Ferraro for giving me the opportunity to be in the contest and answering e-mails from me, all the contest viewers and also to ALL of the INCREDIBLE AMV makers out there that got me into AMV making myself. Thanks to all!

I hope you enjoy the video, even though YouTube's conversion resulted in much quality loss, cut effects, and somewhat off timing. Those who want to download a very high quality version of this video can go to the link above. :)

Here are the lyrics to Forsaken by Within Temptation:

Now the day has come.
We are forsaken this time.

We lived our lives in our paradise,
As gods we shaped the world around.
No borderlines we'd stay behind,
Though balance is something fragile.

While we thought we were gaining,
We'd turn back the tide, it still slips away.
Our time has run out, our future has died,
There's no more escape.

Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore.
Life will pass us by,
We are forsaken,
We're the last of our kind.

The sacrifice was much too high,
Our greed just made us all go blind.
We tried to hide what we feared inside.
Today is the end of tomorrow.

As the sea started rising,
The land that we conquered just washed away.
Although we all have tried to turn back the tide,
It was all in vain.

Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore.
Life will pass us by,we are forsaken,
Only ruins stay behind.

Now the day has come.
We are forsaken this time.

Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore.

Now the day has come.
The day has come.
The day has come.

Everyone,

Please read the description. Sorry there is no longer any audio but you can view it with the original with the links in the description.

Thanks so much for all of your support while the whole video was available. =) I appreciate all your comments and praise!

So retarded. I essentially became a fan of Within temptation because i saw this music video.I don't care who's the ass hole muting all the music on youtube, but i will say that that particular person -or group of people- are a bunch of morons. When you consider all the advertisement they recieve from things like youtube, to just cut it off is just plain stupid on their part. i wouldn't have even known that Within Temptation existed if not for this vid. bunch of idiots they are!

[Touchofred239]

Youtube and who ever else needs to chill on the copyright claims. this is not for profit at all.

Purely entertainment. They should be glad you are using their song for a master piece like this.

About to say the hell with Youtube now....

[AngelaCheerOfGaia]
