Originally recorded on the [[Sound Asleep EP]] in 1998. There are currently seven versions of this song available. The Post-Origin Demo of Whisper contains sound clips from the ''William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet soundtrack''.  This version begins with a sample intro from "Death Scene" and "O Verona."<ref>The part of "Death Scene" is played normally, but the part of "O Verona" is played at a frecuency of about 112.24489% than normal (if the normal frecuency is 44100Hz, the used frecuency for Whisper is 49500Hz) [http://files.getdropbox.com/u/727841/EvanescenceReference/Fake%20Whisper%20Intro.mp3 Play] a fake audioclip, by [[User:Gerard armando|Gerard Armando]] which contains the both songs merged together, like it sounds on Whisper.</ref> There are a few versions of the song floating around the internet and various bootleg discs (see [[Fake]]). One version has a burst of noise before the vocals in the intro sample (at approximately 0:29). Another version does not have this burst of noise, but has distinct 'skipping' sounds that appear after the 0:30 mark. On the bootleg [[Not For Your Ears]], the Post-Origin Demo of Whisper is named "Whisper 2002." It is incorrect to call it this however, because it is not known whether this version was made in 2001 or 2002.
 
At the beginning of the version on the [[Sound Asleep EP]], there is an introduction which is actually a part of the song itself played backward that culminates in a sound clip from the movie [http://imdb.com/title/tt0051962/ My World Dies Screaming], also known as "''Terror in the Haunted House''" (1958),<ref>[http://files.getdropbox.com/u/727841/EvanescenceReference/Terror%20in%20the%20haunted%20house%202.mp3 Here] are the samples, recorded from the movie "Terror in the Haunted House"</ref> the same film some clips on [[Understanding]] are taken from.

The We The Living Vol. 3 Version is the Whisper/Sound Asleep EP version without the reversed intro and sound clip from the movie. It also has an extended drum outro. The Post-Sound Asleep Demo is mostly the same as the We The Living version, only without the extended drum outro. This is presumably the version Amy and Ben tried to get on the We The Living Vol. 3 CD (and they couldn't keep the copyrighted intro), but they later decided to add the extended drum outro.

General Information

Written by: A. Lee and B. Moody

Originally recorded on the Sound Asleep EP in 1998. There are currently seven versions of this song available. The Post-Origin Demo of Whisper contains sound clips from the William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet soundtrack. This version begins with a sample intro from "Death Scene" and "O Verona."[1] There are a few versions of the song floating around the internet and various bootleg discs (see Fake). One version has a burst of noise before the vocals in the intro sample (at approximately 0:29). Another version does not have this burst of noise, but has distinct 'skipping' sounds that appear after the 0:30 mark. On the bootleg Not For Your Ears, the Post-Origin Demo of Whisper is named "Whisper 2002." It is incorrect to call it this however, because it is not known whether this version was made in 2001 or 2002.

At the beginning of the version on the Sound Asleep EP, there is an introduction which is actually a part of the song itself played backward that culminates in a sound clip from the movie My World Dies Screaming, also known as "Terror in the Haunted House" (1958),[2] the same film some clips on Understanding are taken from.

In the chorus of the Origin version, David sings backup vocals.

The We The Living Vol. 3 Version is the Whisper/Sound Asleep EP version without the reversed intro and sound clip from the movie. It also has an extended drum outro. The Post-Sound Asleep Demo is mostly the same as the We The Living version, only without the extended drum outro. This is presumably the version Amy and Ben tried to get on the We The Living Vol. 3 CD (and they couldn't keep the copyrighted intro), but they later decided to add the extended drum outro.

The Automata Magazine 3.0 Version is the Origin version of Whisper and the song Origin merged into one track.

In the Fallen version, at the ending the choir sings "Servatis a periculum, servatis a maleficum," which is roughly translated from Latin as "Save us from danger, save us from evil."

While answering questions from fans in an EvClub interview, a question comes up that asks "Can you still relate to the songs you wrote years ago?" Amy's response about this song is:

Vin1.jpg Whisper is something that we still play on stage a lot and I love playing it, it's a great live song. But lyrically it doesn't hold a ton of meaning for me anymore 'cause I'm not really at a very dark place in my life at all right now. I'm at a pretty positive place. So unless I'm really angry, I don't totally relate to Whisper.[3] Vin2.jpg

Lyrics

Fallen Version

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
If I will it all away

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
If I will it all away

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me, I fear

She beckons me shall I give in?
Upon my end shall I begin?
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet The End? [I rise to meet my end?]

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

[Servatis a periculum] Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
[Servatis a maleficum] Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
[Servatis a periculum] Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
[Servatis a maleficum] Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

[Servatis a periculum] Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
[Servatis a maleficum] Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
[Servatis a periculum] Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
[Servatis a maleficum] Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

Servatis a periculum
Servatis a maleficum
Servatis a periculum
Servatis a maleficum
Servatis a periculum

Whisper/Sound Asleep EP Version

Death in- Death in it's most hideous form

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drive me into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be
Blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes [death before my eyes]
Lying next to me, I fear

She beckons me shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet my end [I rise to meet my end]
[I rise to meet my end]
Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

Automata Magazine 3.0 Version

I'm sure it's getting darker
Don't close your eyes
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound

You hold the answer deep within your own mind
Death in it's most hideous form

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now [it's all over now]
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drive me into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be
Blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me, I fear

She beckons me shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet the end
Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

Intro Lyrics required
Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth [this truth] drives me into [into] madness [madness]
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away [will it all away]

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away [will it all away]

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear

She beckons me shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet the end

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]
