Die Symphonicgrößen von WITHIN TEMPTATION haben heute Nacht ihren ersten Vorläufer des achten Studioalbums als Visualizer veröffentlicht. `Wireless` richtet sich inhaltlich gegen Krieg und Aufruhr sind sowie Medienmanipulation.
Sängerin Sharon den Adel erklärt zum Track:
“Wireless‘ is a song about a soldier who goes to war convinced that he is going for a good cause. He’s indoctrinated by government-controlled media and thinks he’s going to be welcomed back as a savior, only to find out he has been used. This has resulted in people seeing him as a brutal conqueror instead, and now he finds himself on the wrong side. His life and the lives of many are deceived and destroyed.“

Lyrics:
It’s the ultimate sacrifice.
Like a God, you threw the dice
and then you left us all wireless.
I started to wonder, wonder.
Why is your smile so callous?
I’m here going under, under.
Why is your heart so heartless.
I know, I know.
I’m such a fool.
It’s here, you wear the mark of shame..
It’s here, just like the mark of cain
You never cared for us, just our halo.
With its glorious force to draw more souls in.
You never cared for us, our dreams evaporating.
You left us here without a safety-pin.
You never cared for us, just our halo.
Our Bloody halo.
Try to elevate your demise.
You got everything sanctified.
All is shattered and is wireless.
We’re forced through the gauntlet, gauntlet.
Like mice in a maze, we’re running.
We know we go under, under.
Like moths to the flames we’re falling.
We know, we know, It is cruel.
It’s here, you wear the mark of shame.
It’s here, just like the mark of cain.
You never cared for us, just our halo.
With its glorious force to draw more souls in.
You never cared for us, our dreams evaporating.
You left us here without a safety-pin.
You never cared for us, just our halo.
Our Bloody halo.
It will reach for you.
It will try to turn you over.
The feeling should wake you up.
It will reach for you.
When it all falls apart.
It’s frightening, they’re watching you, just watching you.
You never cared for us, just our halo.
With its glorious force to draw more souls in.
You never cared for us, our dreams evaporating.
You left us here without a safety-pin.
You never cared for us, just our halo.
Our Bloody halo.
