Lyrics
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's still beating loud and clear

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

I run to the river and dive straight in
I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out

I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

YES ALMIGHTY AAAAANGST.

Vidder...vidder. You are absolutely correct. Albert is Florence Welch and that is SO OBVIOUS NOW.

I really appreciate that you focused on Albert and his tiny heart and how HARD IT IS TO BE HIM. I mean, yes, the count too. We all love a good pineful longing of love that is too long lost and also demon-fused now, but OH, ALBERT.

I like how you allowed the visuals to carry most of the emotional weight--THE BRIDGE. ~1:41 - Hairs went up on my neck. I AM A SUCKER for a good bridge. Yes.

Thank you, vidder! This was a treat (perhaps literally!)

You've done a fantastic job of showing Albert torn between the Count and Franz! I loved it.

[madame_oryx]

this is incredible! admittedly i don't know much about vids, so i'm not entirely sure what to comment on, but it's just so well edited and intense... amazing work! ( oh, franz. and here i thought i'd finally gotten over it. ;_; )

Yes, Albert, it does kind of suck when the hot older dude you want to bang turns out to be a space vampire bent on revenge.

I really liked the song choice. Nicely done. :)

I only know about the show by fannish osmosis but this vid is beautiful!

[violace]

This is stunning. Makes me want to check out the show/movie.

[skygiants]

Oh wow! This does a great job of capturing the intensity and PSYCHADELIC COLORS of the anime.

[franzeska]

Epic! Much like the source.
