Origin, track 6

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

According to MutantQuasar, an Evboarder, the Latin chanting repeated throughout the song is:

Iesu, Rex admirabilis
et triumphator nobilis,
dulcedo ineffabilis,
totus desiderabilis.

Translated in English to:

O Jesus, King most wonderful!
Thou Conqueror renowned!
Thou Sweetness most ineffable!
in whom all joys are found!

--
Field of Innocence

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
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
I want to go back to
Believing in everything

Iesu (Jesu), Rex amirabilis
Et triumphator nobilis
Dulcedo ineffabilis
Totus desiderabilis

Lyrics by: A. Lee, B. Moody, D. Hodges

After the second choir Ben says the following lines on the background:

As the years pass by before my face
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
Lies an evil
But it's me

(I remember it being somewhere, but now it seems like that info is gone)

where abouts? i tried to look for it but i couldnt find it

its over the chanting of that latin stuff before the very last chorus, i believe, a guys speaking it.

I think I have come to a conclusion on how Evanecence got the idea for this song. In school today for my English mid-term, I had to read an article on the basis of "Field of Dreams" inspired by a man's experience and so on...Anyway, throughout the article it kept saying the field on a "Velvet-Heated" sunny summer's day was a place of innocence to reminisce, thus the title, 'Field of Innocence," and the lyrics, " I still remember the world...eyes of a child...I still remember the sun always warm on my back." Cool, huh? Just think about it??? Anyway, I will try the best I can to get the article from my teacher to post here. It was freaky. I never did finish my test because I too was "reminiscing."

The song is about missing the carefree times of childhood... I don't think they got the idea from that article, I think it's just a coincidence.

Who knows though, you could be right. Or maybe they came up with the idea for the song first and later came across the imagery in that article or some article like it.

Correction:

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 admirabilis,
Et triumphator nobilis,
Dulcedo ineffabilis,
Totus desiderabilis.

“As the years pass by,
Before my face,
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
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, admirabilis

O wow, I know most of you might know this but if you listen/play to the intro of FoI half the speed it become Demise...Haha, David Hodges and his electronics me thinks! ME and my friend were just messing around the the timing and we were like "OMG! IT'S DEMISE!"....we're sad people

Ok, guys. Take 'field of innocence' file and put it on Window movie maker, and save it as a movie file. When you've done that put the movie file back onto Movie maker and right click and press on Video Effects, then scroll down to 'Slow down, half' and click ok. Then play! It's Demise I tells ya!

I thought I'd posted to this thread but obviously not. I did as you instructed and halved the speed of Field of Innocence and my jaw dropped when I heard what was playing. It is definately Demise.

Anyways, I took it one step further and doubled the speed of Demise so that I had a longer intro of Field of Innocence. It's not the same but it's near enough.

Don't you just love it when bands do this kind of thing?
