Songfacts®:

  • Here, Within Temptation frontwoman Sharon den Adel urges us to get out on the streets, come together and protest some of the bigger things in life. She told HMV.com:

    "There is so much to be angry about and people just do it on the internet. People should be on the streets and making themselves heard. A lot is going wrong with the world and it has given us a new fire."
  • The song features Anders Friden, the vocalist of the Swedish metal outfit In Flames. Den Adel said: "We needed somebody who could scream and he said yes he would. He's not all over the track, but when he needed him, he's there."
