Billboard Top 100,  2003:  #10                                                             

Some have called this a power ballad.  I can't accept that. You don't call Romeo and Juliet a romance novel. You don't call Air Force Ones "sneakers."

Amy Lee's angelic crooning over that agressive metal guitar and backup vocals from Paul McCoy - it's like Linda Ronstadt meets Ronny James Dio. You wouldn't think that would work, but here it is. Get the album version of this song and listen to the moment just before the first chorus - it sounds like a depth charge. Very cool.
