Listen to our brand new single 'Shed My Skin' now on all streaming platforms: wt.lnk.to/sms

It’s unbelievable how they manage to combine rap and symphonic metal and produce such a great song out of it

Pimp my symphonic metal.

I'm 61 years old and thank God I have a 31 year old son who loves great music like this lol.

I...am surprised that I discovered this 7 years after it got released. This is amazing.. reminds me of my teenage years.

Why do so many complain about the mix between Metal and Rap? It sounds awesome and why can´t Metal bands use rap in their songs? Metal has so many genres and so many different bands. The band Hed P.E. use metal and rap for their music. The Nu-Metal band Linkin Park do it too. Their are more bands like them who already did that, so what's the fu***** problem?

Mad respect to Xzibit for stepping into our lane and doing it well, glad to have you join!

how the hell have i not found this until now. Xzibit works so well with Within Temptation. Bravo guys. great song.

This song has gotten me through some of the worst moments in my life. I will love it forever

I wonder what Xzibit's reaction was when they contacted him to make a guest appearance. and did he pimp their ride

The rap part actually blended in well with the song.

This song is a masterpiece. The blending of genres is what makes it so iconic.

For about 6 years, this song has touched me on a personal level, for many reasons. Thank you, X and Within temptation

I don't know why rap isn't always done with metal guitar, this is awesome

6 years ago I was sceptical about a collaboration between WT and Xzibit. Now, this turns out to be the most memorable song from the entire album

This song is my anthem for this year. I’ve overcome so much in my life, this is my moment to shine and live life to the fullest. Thank you Xzibit and Within Temptation for this masterpiece.

June, 2024. I'm still running.

This song is what I listen to when I feel like I'm hopeless. So beautiful, words are so strong. ❤

did not expect Xzibit to be in a band like this and I love his part

2021 And this song is more alive 🎧 then ever. 😆 🔥🧘🏽‍♂️🔥

I had no expectations cause I had no idea of what to expect, but this just made me chocked for how good it is!

Back in the day I was listening to a lot of rap (although I've always been a metal fan - from death/grind to nu metal) and Xzibit was one of the best. His role in this song is awesome. Congrats to both WT and Xzibit for this incredible collaboration!

And We Run, along with Paradise, are the best songs on the album. I don't get why people say that WT became a pop rock band, just because they experimented with different genres. Metal and rap are completely different music genres and WT with Xzibit achieved to combine them perfectly in a very meaningful song.

" and we runn" this chorus gave me goosebumps

This is "The Beaty and the Beast" in its whole glory.

Her voice is just unbelievable, everytime I think she can't get any better she tops herself again. Normally I can't stand Hip Hop stuff, but dang if they don't make it work here. Love the contrast between her angelic voice and his tough and rough street voice. This band is so creative it's amazing after all these years to just keep knocking out great songs to listen to and get pumped up for. Wish so much they would get more respect in America. Don't want to have to wait another 7 years for them.

I dont like rap that much, but this combination is awesome

Невероятный симбиоз рока и рэпа. Две стихии сплелись в одно целое. Это еще раз показывает, что творчество одно на всех и мы едины в чувствах.

the fact symphonic metal and rap came together in such harmony, as two seperate artists who respect each other is beautiful… like no one should complain. Its a collide of two different expressions from the heart and soul.

This is by far one of the all time best collaborations EVER. I am not a fan of rap music but holy crap this is epic. Just amazing. I actually loved it the first time I heard years ago and was blown away.

Really enjoy the fusion between rock/metal & classical with elements of rap. Creative and exciting, thanks Within Temptation

Why would metal and rap be enemies when we could be friends and make wonderful music together? Greetings from Texas 💙

I've been a huge fan of Within Temptation since 2000 (Mother Earth) and I really like Xzibit as a singer, rapper and actor too. And both combined is a feast for the ears, plus this very strong message. Thank you for this great song, which became my absolute favorite song.

Funny Fact: When Within Temptation asked Xzibit about doing this song together he just thought: Who the hell is "Within Temptation"? When he found out, he couldnt imagine, how Rap and Metal should worked out together, but he tried anyway and he was very pleased by the outcome.

This song could be a theme for a amazing futuristic movie

Still can't believe how good this song is...years later!

Alex Hefner brought me here I cannot believe I have never heard of this til now

WTF... I never knew that my favorite Symphonic band and favorite rapper crossed paths... Talk about "when worlds collide"...

Xzibit drops the best rap I've ever heard in the middle of my favorite band are you kidding me?

Sharon rocks in the all universe!!! ❤🌎🌙❤

Mad respect to all bands to allow rap genre to flourish along the metal scene

The last time i've seen a combination like this was in 90's eurodance music. So may I call this eurometal? This music is damn good.

I'd love to hear more Symphonic Rap-metal songs.

And We Run (feat. Xzibit) It burns into your heart the darkness that you fear You were never free and you never realized And love is a word you never heard Your heart ain't cold, 'cause it burns A desire to leave the mire Take your breath 'till nothing's left Scars of life upon your chest And I know wherever it goes And we run, with a lonely hearts And we run, for this killing love And we run, 'till the heavens above Yeah we run, running in the dark And we run, 'till we fall apart And we run, 'till the heavens above Don't blink, you'll miss it Lift up your head We gotta get gone Yeah, we outta here Don't blink, you'll miss it Lift up your head Too late, we gone Yeah, we outta here And we run, with a lonely heart And we run, for this killing love And we long for a heavenly heart I'ma break these chains, run thru the rain Never look back, never quit, work thru the pain This blood in my veins runs cold When I think I'll never be the same, but I never lose hope This is my time now, no time for tears Celebrate, put it in the air right now Never back down You could never wear my crown 'cause it weighs too much And I crush every mothafuckin thing I touch This is love, I've never loved so much Get involved, make the world stand up Give my life before I ever give up Name in lights, you lost all my trust Now it's time to face all of us Get in line 'cause they're calling us And it feels so marvelous Just take my hand and run And we run, with a lonely hearts And we run, for this killing love And we run, 'till the heavens above Yeah we run, running in the dark And we run, 'till we fall apart And we run, 'till the heavens above Don't blink, you'll miss it Lift up your head We gotta get gone Yeah, we outta here Don't blink, you'll miss it Lift up your head Too late, we gone Yeah, we outta here And we run, with a lonely heart And we run, for this killing love And we long for a heavenly heart Don't blink, you'll miss it Lift up your head We gotta get gone Yeah, we outta here Don't blink, you'll miss it Lift up your head Too late, we gone Yeah, we outta here E Corremos (part. Xzibit) A escuridão que você teme queima em seu coração Você nunca foi livre e você nunca percebeu E o amor é uma palavra que você nunca ouviu Seu coração não é frio, porque queima O desejo de sair da lama Respire até não sobrar mais nada Cicatrizes de vida sobre o seu peito E eu sei aonde quer que vá E corremos com um coração solitário E corremos para este amor mortal E corremos até o paraíso acima E corremos, corremos no escuro E corremos até desmoronarmos E corremos até o paraíso Não pisque ou você vai perder Levante sua cabeça Temos que ir embora Sim, sair daqui Não pisque ou você vai perder Levante sua cabeça Tarde demais, nós já fomos embora Sim, sair daqui E corremos com um coração solitário E corremos para este amor mortal E ansiamos por um coração celestial Eu vou quebrar essas correntes, correr pela chuva Nunca olhar para trás, nunca desistir, superar a dor Este sangue nas minhas veias corre frio Quando eu penso que nunca mais serei o mesmo, mas eu nunca perco a esperança É a minha hora agora, não há tempo para lágrimas Celebre, lance-o no ar agora Nunca desista Você nunca poderia usar a minha coroa porque pesa muito E eu destruo tudo que toco Isto é amor, nunca amei tanto Envolva-se, faça o mundo levantar Dar minha vida, antes de desistir Famosão, você perdeu toda a minha confiança Agora é hora de enfrentar todos nós Entre na fila pois estão nos chamando E é tão maravilhoso Apenas pegue minha mão e corra E corremos com um coração solitário E corremos por este amor mortal E corremos até o paraíso acima E corremos, e corremos no escuro E corremos até desmoronarmos E corremos para o paraíso Não pisque ou você vai perder Levante sua cabeça Temos que ir embora Sim, sair daqui Não pisque ou você vai perder Levante sua cabeça Tarde demais, nós já fomos embora Sim, sair daqui E corremos com um coração solitário E corremos por este amor mortal E ansiamos por um coração celestial Não pisque ou você vai perder Levante sua cabeça Temos que ir embora Sim, sair daqui Não pisque ou você vai perder Levante sua cabeça Tarde demais, nós já fomos embora Sim, sair daqui

XZIBIT é um rapper lendário e também um dos maiores letristas! A Sharon é uma maravilha de mulher! (Seu timbre é indiscutível)

There is few moments that the feel of the music gives me the chills and this is one of them. Very cool collab.

symphonic metal is the last metal genre i'd expect to collaborate with rap music yet it fits in really great together this song really opens a lot of doors for symphonic metal and that's what's most important

Within Temptation and Xzibit is quite possibly one of the best collaborations ever.

New favorite song. Makes me cry for some reason. This is Perfection

this lady has an amazing voice

Goosebumps. I love when music genres mix. Wicked! :D

This is what it's all about folks....music is music and it all blends together like rivers flowing to the same ocean. Well done WT and X. Beautiful track

So underrated. This gives you so much power. The symphony, the voice and the rap. It all fitts.

Первый раз услышал эту песню.Это невероятно.Так зацепило.Посмотрел этот клип и до сих пор не пойму: почему так мало просмотров? Это же шедевр! Великолепная песня и великолепный клип.

More important, xhibit and within temptation would have never known the possibilities if they never took time to reach out to each other.

2020! Happy New Year.👼 Is there sameone?😶

It's been 8 years and I still can't get enough of it♡ Greatest song of this century, honestly. It accompanied me in so many different situations in life, some of them joyful, some of them depressing. If there is one thing that reminds me of how fascinating life can be, it's this song. I'll be forever thankful to Within Temptation and Xzibit💜

Yo dawg, we heard you like rap AND metal.

The best part of this is that Xzibit fits so perfect

I dont know why, but this song brings me tears, not because of saddness and I dont think it's Joy too, just emotions spilling over

I'm so sorry to say it... 4 minutes isn't enough for this song... This is such a masterpiece! I hit the replay button so many times it almost broke.

I've never seen rap mixed with symphonic metal before...but they did a good job.

This is one of those songs that give me an awesome feeling that I can't quite put in words. I get tears of joy every time I listen/watch this. It's such an inspirational song.

I find this song so shockingly beautiful. It's such an unlikely combo, but integrated so perfectly. Just mmm. -chefs kiss- I approve.

This song is so empowering to me, I love it so so much. For me it is one of the best WT songs out there, right behind "All I need" and "Swan Song" which is weird sing neither of the others is that empowering but soothing and calm. Keep your powerful work!

Loving the Metal and Rap collab. Honestly would love to see more of it.

No matter what, don't ever lose your greatness. Choose Love. Choose light. Its never too late. Thats what i think when i see this video.

*Xzibit breaks the wall* Xzibit: "THAT'S FOR THE BIRD!"

Show de mais, muita musicalidade, muito sentimento, me faz lembrar da eternidade é capaz!

Xzibit has a metal voice quality. The blend of Sharon and Xzibit makes this song golden. Thumbs Up.

this song: faith in humanity restored!

8 years later and still blasting this.. So many good rap/rock mixes This is up there xzibits gritty voice with Sharon's clean vocals is a hit

I love most of the reactions to this video. They all start by talking about Xzibit, and that's cool, but as I watch them 'listen,' the reaction is to Sharon. No surprise there. When I move on to the next promise of God's glory, I hope the angel lending to Sharon's voice is in surround sound. God bless for an old school US rocker's find b4 finding the door. Not to worry, I'll still be listening to my faves when you can't see me. That's just part of His gift.

I never thought Xzibit would be one to make this crossover. ^___^

Honestly, I thought this will be a weird collaboration. But it is definitely *NOT*. It is a great song, especially for the morning.

wowsers - beautiful voice combined with a rapper that everyone thought was outdated. Well done Xzibit - killed it and made the song.

Oh my good! It takes a LOT of TALENT to bring two very different artists together and make them sound good together! It's safe to say. That's why Within Temptation is the pinnacle of metal music!

Sweet! Lets run! But first....Xzibit...can you pimp my ride?

This is what rap should sound like.

É uma deusa! Uma voz que vem dos céus!...um recado de Deus!!!😍

I like what you did here....xzibit just rolls into this song smoothly and it suits well! And Sharon! You amaze me every time I listen to your music! Thank you for making someone as miserable as me smile! 💕

"Isn't Xzibit a rapper? How is this going to work-" *Listens to song* ".......Rather well."

This is beautiful

Within Temptation, thank you very much. Your music makes my life a little better. In view of recent events in the world and as a resident of one of the countries that throws itself into the backyards of civilization, I can't contain my feelings when I listen to this song.

Such a very beautiful, sensitive and precious song, I love this!!

Xzibit grow in my eyes. Really good job with Sharon

Hey! Did you see the music video of our brand new single? Check "The Reckoning" (feat. Jacoby Shaddix) here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZ2jgr2Quay5iJs.html

Hearing this for the first time. Love it! Bought three albums recently by Within Temptation. Definitely my fave symphonic female fronted band. So good.

my fav WT track !!!!!! What a band, what a voice, what a sound ! Absolute perfection !

Perfection, WT are the only musicians who never disappoint me.

Our brand new album 'RESIST' is officially out now! Listen to it on Spotify: bit.ly/WTRESIST

Speechless, this song is amazing. How I never heard of it until now?

Nobody, ever, will mix metal and rap better than this, PERFECTION

two artists i never could really picture until now

I was going to go with a "Pimp My Euro Symphonic Metal" line, but Xzibit actually rises above that on this song and shows what he was originally known for. Nice, punchy contrast of his rap to Sharon's lead.

The combination of the 2 styles is spot on in this match up. I'm a metal head, but in this song i must give respect and praise for the sound that turned out of it.

Masterpiece

Well, I think this song is fantastic. I honestly think that assholes like Kanye West and Flo Rida have completely missed the point of rap. Rap was originally created as a form of expression against the injustices and hard times of the black community. Rap is supposed to have strong messages, not talk about hoes and money. Also, a true musician respects every genre of music. Just because Within Temptation worked with a rapper it doesn't mean they turned to crap, it means they're mature enough to look beyond from what they know and went out of their comfort zone. I admire that from them. They're not the only ones either. A lot of rock and metal artists have done it, including Paul McCartney from The Beatles. If you guys think that being a metalhead means dissing everything else and being elitists about your genre, then you're just as bad as Kanye.

I think it's very risky to incorporate symphonic metal and rap the way they did, and while I'm not a fan of Xzibit, his addition ended up working out really well and really made the song feel great. The payoff may not be universal, but I feel it was brave for them to do it, and I like the song. I am always a fan of artists mixing genres together and see how the sounds mesh.

This is still one of my favorite songs today!!! 10-16-20 ....love the band and my dude Xzibit!!!
