: which makes sense (see above post) since the lyrics talk of not trying to hide, not closing your eyes. being observed or watched is understanable and flows with the song better. thank you amy lee for aetting us straight on this.

: It's garbage Latin - Servatis = You (pl) save/are saving; a = from, but it must be followed by ablative, notaccusative. Maleficium = crime, insult, injury - not evel.

: its not garbage latin, however it IS wron. it actually reads "observed by the danger; observed by the criminal (the evil)"
