Wireless

Within Temptation is a Dutch (don't worry - they sing in English) Symphonic Metal band. It was started in 1996 by lead singer Sharon den Adel and guitarist Robert Westerholt. I quite like their work. I really like today's song.

From the comments to the song, by Sharon den Adel:

'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.

Here is a link to the lyrics, for completeness. I never have trouble understanding this band.

This song is "Wireless" by Within Temptation. It was released as single on May 18th. And is the title song to the album released the following day. Album or EP? 5 songs, and 5 instrumental versions of those songs, for a total of just under 42 minutes.
