One thing I find that a lot of people covering this song on YouTube, or playing it live, just don't get is that this song is meant to be a very dark lamentation. It's the kind of song that's meant to convey the end of the world. It's about the horror of watching your entire world burn before your eyes, and the sorrow of realizing the best you can hope for is dying at the side of your loved ones.
IT IS NOT A FREAKING POWER BALLAD OR AN INSPIRATIONAL TUNE!!!
