Wrought (with subtitles)

Here's my latest collaboration with the very talented machinimator, Legs. The song, "Wrought", is by my friends, the Seattle Rock Band, Peratus. Our interpretation of their song is a tragedy which unfolds as you see flashbacks from the perspective of an undead warrior who recalls how he fell in love with a beautiful blood elf, a forbidden love which was unacceptable to her people. What transpires afterwards will (hopefully) chill you to the bone.

We hope you enjoy "Wrought". I certainly have enjoyed watching this beautiful tragedy be brought to... life. :)

Legs has posted the original version on her YouTube channel. I'm posting this version with subtitles here on my channel. Stop by Legs' channel if you haven't already and say "hi".

You can read more about the creation of this video on my blog at http://www.cranius.com. I'm also on Facebook - hope to see you there. Legs also has a blog at http://legsmachinima.blogspot.com.

Here are the lyrics:
I'm left alone with all the monsters in my head
They say to me you won't choose life over death
Insane attraction causes stillness in my mind
Only a fraction of the things I've left to find

Oh without you, all alone
I see right through
Strong intentions left and gone

I can't control my so impulsive frame of mind
I feel the reigns, the bridle, jerk my head in line
I wanna scream I wanna kill I wanna shout
I choke it back and take a punch right in the mouth

Oh without you, all alone
I see right through
Strong intentions left and gone

(Ahhh) I cannot take this on my own, (ahhh) there's no excitement
(Ahhh) You rather see me rot alone
(Ahhh) Instead I suffer here for this

I take a breath from that toxic mask of mine
And fight the urge to disappear into the night
And by my side I see a monster on my wing
He drives me on he keeps me safe he makes me see

That without you, all alone
I see right through
Strong intentions left and gone

(Ahhh) I cannot take this on my own, (ahhh) there's no excitement
(Ahhh) You rather see me rot alone
(Ahhh) Instead I suffer here for this

You see me, I'm pleading
For you to stop my bleeding
You see me, I'm pleading
For you to stop my bleeding

(Ahhh) I cannot take this on my own, (ahhh) there's no excitement
(Ahhh) You rather see me rot alone
(Ahhh) Instead I suffer here for this

You see me, I'm pleading
For you to stop my bleeding
You see me, I'm pleading
For you to stop my bleeding
For you to stop my bleeding
For you to stop my bleeding
