I lost a brother in Afghanistan, we first bonded over our love of Disturbed and this was his favorite song. I could not understand why until after he died. We said we were going to go see Disturbed when we got home, I have seen Disturbed live several time now and they have played Prayer every time. When it plays I can feel he is there with me. Semper Fi brother, I will see you again one day.
@@MuninnMyrkvi agreed...The music industry is ran by greedy bloodsuckers of the poor that wont let that happen they have colonized and conditioned people minds into believing that your race color or creed has direct effect on the taste of music you like...
This song hits home for me. I was a heroin addict who lost everything. My house, my car, my family, my friends, I lost everything.. but I got it all back. October 21st 2022 is my 10 years clean mark. I got my family, my friends, my kids, my house and car, I got it all back with a little bit of hope and willpower.
Congrats man. I was a heroin addict too who lost everything my 5 yrs clean was on September 27 the last time I went to jail. I used to listen to this song all the time in addiction but have found more meaning in it in recovery!
I had recently lost my fiancee & baby girl in a car accident, was about to end my life and this song came on. That beligerant "Fine fucking take everything" attitude made me angry enough to keep living and eventually heal. I will be a Disturbed fan for life.
I'm so very sorry for your loss, I can't even begin to imagine the feeling. But I'm glad you didn't take that route. Life is worth living and any time you feel you are in a dark tunnel with seemingly no end just remember that there is a light somewhere. Go to it. Live life while you can, as your family would've wanted you to
David in my opinion is one of the best lead singers of all time. His voice could lead an ARMY, his vocals are amazing. Not mention that everything his lyrics stand for are the damn truth.
I'm 70 years old. Nothing says "it" the way you guys say "it". Gawd I love metal......when you feel it in your bones the message leaks into the soul and you are forever changed. I pray you are all happy.....and have all that matters to you.

A great friend of mine in middle school, was a die-hard Disturbed fan (6th through 8th grade). So much so, when he was taken from us a couple years ago in a car accident before the pandemic, some classmates and I, who havent seen each-other in about 10 years since we graduated, played this at his funeral in his honor.
My mom is in Hospice with dementia and she is in the process of transitioning. I’ve been listening to Disturbed this evening and just bought tickets to see them in concert in Feb. Be well and take care of yourself as well as you can.
This is spirituality(the experiencing of god) Vs religion (a set of rules,rites and rituals) Designed to,In my opinion,devolve mankind to the presipos of our own extinction💯
@Jose Leonardo Lemus: Correct. I remember hearing David Draiman say the video was supposed to be like a modern twist on Job’s story. I didn’t have high speed internet at the time, so I think I must have learned this from the video content on the Believe CD itself. Having just read about his early life on Wikipedia, it makes a lot of sense why he would sing about something like this. I wouldn’t consider myself a huge fan of the band, but I do very much admire David. This and “Liberate” are the two most memorable songs for me. So much wisdom in just two tracks. Respect.
I recently suffered from depression and sucidal thoughts and this was one of the songs that helped pull me out from that low place and honestly from the bottom of my heart I want to thank bands like Disturbed for making songs such as"Prayer." as you may never know who needs help out there to get out of their low points where the help in this case came in the form of a song. I especially resonated with the light aspect of the video as it truly relates to my situation where I just need some light to cleanse all the darkness away from my life and get on with living in peace instead of misery.
Edit: I am a christian and i understand this song 100 percent, this song isnt about atheism. Praise God! I have read the book of job and it isn't about losing faith it's about God proving to satan that job never lost faith and this singer unfortunately never turn to Jesus christ.
I used to listen to disturbed as a 14 year old! Im 28 now and feel so depressed and this song somehow makes me feel better. It uplifts me and i love the guitar in this song!
This album was made while the singer was dealing with his grandmothers death, to him it was his mom. The whole album believe is uplifting. He was into death metal. Loss changes perspectives. You find new value in little things. Keep the faith and push on.

Me too. At 21 Currently. My mom always played Disturbed in the car. I grew up listening to Down With the Sickness. Of course, she had to turn it down for 5 year old me for that Ike part. When asked why she did that she always told me “that’s not your part” and it’s an inside joke with us now. Seen them live a few times now. Got to see Disturbed live just before COVID happened too. Fantastic band live

When I was homeless, I'd play this song every night and try to beleive there was a reason to #KeepFighting; _🎵 “Let me enlighten you 🎵_ _🎵 “This is the way I pray 🎵_ _🎵 “Living just isn’t hard enough 🎵_ _🎵 “Burn me alive, inside 🎵_ _🎵 “Living my life’s not hard enough 🎵_ _🎵 “Take everything away…” 🎵_
Same. This was a goto during the darkest depths of my addiction. I've now been clean 13 yrs. ❤ sometimes we make life a lot harder than it needs to be.
I remember mornings back in 2004, getting ready to go to school, I was in 8th grade. Every morning I'd watch the Fuse channel and this would play, along with Lost Prophets, Trapt, Three Days Grace, AFI, Slipknot, Breaking Benjamin, Blink 182, Chevelle, Smile Empty Soul, SOAD, The Offspring, and some others. I loved Heavy Metal and Punk Rock, and still do!!
This is the story of Job, from the bible, David would have learned it as a child. "Another truth you can never believe" is the logic behind this that trials and tribulations can bring us to God. Not a popular concept today but it has a message of hope "After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before."
Disturbed helped my husband through some hard times and i have grown to thank them for it, we love everything they come out with. Great job guys keep it up
This song dropped around the time I got home from Iraq. Lost my job, my girlfriend, my car, my place to live, my self respect, and my hope.It couldn't hit closer to home.
This song came out almost 10 months after 9/11. MTV refused to show this on air because they felt people would be triggered by the falling buildings. It's my all time favorite. MTV should have played it. It would have done more good than anything else that was on at that time and Disturbed's message rings loud in this anthem. Lifetime fan since 2001! To David and the crew... don't ever stop.
When you loose everything, and everything that was artificial has been burned away .. you find out who you really are. That is a blessing, but I do not desire to be blessed again, thank you.
Thank you for your comment and support over the years, we love and appreciate your love towards our art.Please send us a private mail contactusdisturbed@gmail.com
Debra Hall It's people like you that give hope to all us young metalheads that we won't grow old and call bands like this "that awful music that kids are listening to"
Yup I remember, and I remember, the video was banned for a little while, I think because it was close to 9/11 time...but if you think about the crazy sit they show today on tv, it's commical. ....but nonetheless, there are no more real Rockstar anymore that have surfaced in the past 5+ years
+MrLegacy36 Yeah, I would agree it is hard to find good artists now. But I've been really into Red's new album "of Beauty and Rage" and Times of Grace is an awesome band that is old and only has one album but few people seem to know about it.
This song gives me strength in my darkest times. I'm truly going through a hell of a lot right now and I'm praying everyday that my beloved will get the help she truly needs and deserves. I pray to have a guardian angel watch over her and my children. I pray that the demons that have infected her mind are cast out and that she come back to us. I continue to pray for the strength to make it through this difficult time and I know God is carrying me through this.
I used to have a disturbed prayer that my life would get harder so that I could be forced to work harder; thinking that it would make me more instinctively diligent. I got my wish, and it worked. Rock on, bros. I ain't sick no mo! 🤟🏿✌🏿🖖🏿
This is more powerful and profound than literally any other metal song I've ever come across. It will be listened and praised hundreds of years from now. Goosebumps every time.
100 years from now humanity is not likely to exist as we know it. One EMP or solar flare could wipe it all away and send us into the dark ages. OR So much information will be produced daily that stuff like this will largely be forgotten, save for small groups of cool people. Have you listened to swing jazz lately? 100 years ago that was the bees knees.
As someone whose been reading the Psalms lately, I'm really starting to love this song. It's actually a legit prayer. After hearing it for the first time in years, it sounded just like a Psalm of David. So cool. God loves it when we unload everything on to Him good AND bad. In a lot of the Psalms, David would unload to God in full honesty about how awful things were because He knew God could take it. Anyway, just thought I would share that. Keep rockin'!
Jesse McIlvenna A lot of Davids songs are about God or the world ending. I was a drug addicted whore as well as being homeless and God opened my eyes one day. the drug and sex stoped instantly and my new life began. God is Awesome and its always nice to see another Christian enjoying Disturbed!
He's not 'unloading everything' on to god, it's not unloading burdens, so much as sarcastically just telling him, basically: "Screw you, keep doing your worst but it can't get worse than what you've already done!"... That's literally blame... It's kinda insane how someone can take a Disturbed song in a religiously-positive context. Christians enjoying a song whose artist is Blaming their god, for things that they typically would Only associate as being the devil's work, it's almost ironic but it's also hilariously hysterical.
Adam Barnett I just didnt get why would you say it on this song. From what i remember they started incorporating guitar solos when they went hard rock. In TTF. These guys had a lot of potential they matured big way, and Indestructible was their best piece instrumentally it was really good listen even though it wasstill kinda generic but really good. Sadly their last two album are horrible
I'm 51 and just started seriously listening to Disturbed this year. Or should I say 2020. The music, for some reason, has really helped me a lot. I've always been into rock but this music has given me a new outlook on life and a reason to get up in the morning. My husband passed away in 2019 after 3 bouts with lung cancer. It has been a very rough 6 years.. I needed something to wake me up and this certainly did it! Now I'm going to Staind and Disturbed by myself in July. Lol
does it? This album and their previous grabbed an entire army of lost children right out of their despair. It hits just like it was always supposed to and did, HARD
“Let me enlighten you…. This is the way I pray” feels like an embodiment of hopelessness but determination to become immortalized by power which I get from that part of the song.
Remember and prayer are both of my favorite songs. Prayer will always make get through rough times with depression now that my parents are split up now.
Fun fact: There was no special effect used. The camera crew just decided to record David as he takes his daily strolls around downtown Chicago while the other band members nearly die 💀
I heard this song when I was 14 years old, I was so obsessed I heard it everyday for hours. Now I’m 36 and is the same effect for me… one of my favorite bands for sure. I wish I can see you live someday ❤ prayer is out of this world
I usualy do not watch tv but a frind of mine does watch mtv and somtimes I realy ask myself: Can there be a Person that sits down and listens to the music that they send. becouse I can not belive that ANYONE WOULD BE ABLE TO LIFE TROUGH THAT WITHOUT BRAIN DAMAGE:
November 2024 here I love this song so much. But the more I see this video. It's showing what happened before and now. The video is not created by the band. But I love ❤the lyrics it is strong to keep my and many going. With everything wrong going on.
It'd be nice to have them back. I miss their sound, the power, the energy they bring to every show. I feel like Draiman isn't getting the respect he deserves from The Device. I've watched clips of live shows and the crowd was disappointing on each one. If I was able to go to at least one of his shows I'd lose my shit but the crowds are dead for some reason.
im from chile, and the last show of Disturbed was here, what an amazing power of the band, and the voice of Draiman is much better in the concerts, i miss them too :(
Once a prayer is spoken, something wants to watch if the intention is good and true, like a good old scotch So be careful with your spoken or written words because sometimes the truth really hurts Have hope and be kind to the ones around this is where that was is will be found Sometimes i just scream in my head this lyrics, to release all the anger and pain that is inside everyone and everything. The "Weltschmerz"!
This song speaks to my soul its a conversation between david and god after 9/11 and the passing of his grandfather. I also had a rough year, that year. My mom was diagnosed with cancer in april I lost my grandpa in may and then September 11th happened. This is the way I pray too, David! Rock on
the Christian according to the norm does not condone one doing ones own thing. i can understand why many don't want to hear about God. I'm a Christian but i still love rock and roll.
This song reflects how it is to be addicted to something, even though it's killing you, "living just isn't hard enough" you still want it. " take everything from you, still living this life's not hard enough". Word.
This is one of my favorite songs of all times. Everytime I am going through a rough time I listen to it and just give me the strength to continue. I just sang it right now crying. I love you David Draiman, you are definitely a preacher
+Anthony Corbo I make that same sound at the height of passion! Then I high-five the mirror, smack the chick on the forehead, scream Yahtzee!, and dive in the pool!
Another dream that will never come true Just to compliment your sorrow Another life that I've taken from you A gift to add on to your pain and suffering Another truth you can never believe Has crippled you completely All the cries you're beginning to hear Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening Let me enlighten you This is the way I pray Living just isn't hard enough Burn me alive, inside Living my life's not hard enough Take everything away Another nightmare about to come true Will manifest tomorrow Another love that I've taken from you Lost in time, on the edge of suffering Another taste of the evil I breed Will level you completely Bring to life everything that you fear Live in the dark, and the world is threatening Let me enlighten you This is the way i pray Living just isn't hard enough Burn me alive, inside Living my life's not hard enough Take everything away Return to me Leave me no one Turn to me Return to me Cast aside You've made me turn away Living just isn't hard enough Burn me alive, inside Living my life's not hard enough Take everything away
***** Then you are ope to mishears. I misheard "Heaven is just not hot enough" for "Living just isn't hard enough". I am not the only one who has done that.
How do you think he typed those? By listening, and translating. Which means that typed interpretation is just as open to mishearing. And that's also because David Draiman is having a seizure 99% of the time. Oh-wah-ah-ah-ah is a key example.
I remember the summer this video came out and I listened to Believe constantly. It’s the only disturbed album that matters to me. This song made my 12 year old self realize I had depression and it was the only way to express the feelings. This is wild. I’m having some kind of midlife crisis over here lmao
god i love this concept of a song. it makes sense to both religious fanatics and atheists. it is good to know im not the only one who sees the irony in our 'all powerful god' and his seemingly ridiculous cruelness. if he were real, why would he strike so many people with so many bad events? whether or not they have a destiny to live a tough life is irrelevant, a god that loves us would not punish us based on our destiny. so, even if he is a real being, he is not the god people think he is.
God doesn't just throw shit at people like some asshole. It's all about free will. People have the ability to make their own choices in life, even of some of their destinies sucked. He will judge them accordingly. He will probably be much harder on a rich guy who had it easy his whole life and never helped anyone, than a homeless man who tried his best to live a good life, but couldn't make ends meet. If anything it proves God to me. There has to be someone to judge things and make them equal in the end. If you disagree or whatever that's totally you're opinion, but just letting you know what I think.
Its a valuable opinion but it doenst make sense to me that free will would effect chance. When good people are the victims of terrible accidents that they didnt deserve, their whole lives get turned upside down. They dont get a choice to make, its about thay fact that a god does exist and I am wrong, his choice to give people free will would not change the pure chance of an accident happening, it would just change how the person views it.
derek watson Well somewhere along the line a choice was made that led to that decision. Maybe someone decided to cut in front of him/her, and they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Its not fair, but I would think if their life is f-ed up because of it and that person say turns to drugs cuz they lost a family member in the accident, then they would be judged differently..
I'm sure you know enough to argue your point nathen, but your talking to someone who has been religious for years. Ive read the bible, and god isnt the way he is described, if he exists at all

Disturbed is the thing that got me through high school.
the right song at the right time can perform miracles. Disturbed has several that can fit the bill, but I've run across several others over the years.
Plus the vocals pack a beat up and down

Seen them live a few times now. Got to see Disturbed live just before COVID happened too. Fantastic band live
Also its STILL ON their bests an my personal favorites
Same brother. The Sickness and Believe both kicked the hell outta me 🤣 Those shows were all soooo nuts back then. Some of the best pits in history.
Music that shaped a generation. I would not be who I am today without Disturbed. Thank you for everything.
The Nu-Metal era definitely shaped our generation!
Here the Lyrics:
Another dream that will never come true
Just to compliment your sorrow
Another life that I've taken from you
A gift to add on to your pain and suffering
Another truth you can never believe
Has crippled you completely
All the cries you're beginning to hear
Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Return to me
Return to me
Return to me
Turn to me
Leave me no one
Turn to me
Return to me
Return to me
Turn to me
Cast aside
Return to me
Return to me
Return to me
Turn to me
Leave me no one
Turn to me

Return to me
You've made me turn away
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
They take everything from you
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Ritter Artorias thanks for the actual lyrics
damn always thought he said calcify.
Every time I see her, this is how I feel.
I could've sworn he said "heaven just isn't hot enough". I've been listening to this song for years. Whoops!
@@thebosshouse omg finally someone else. Yes I thought this was him pledging allegiance to Satan when I misheard that line
How he starts the last chorus off by saying "you've made me turn away" hits me hard. It's so powerful

22 years after it was released I still hear it in my head and enjoy it when I hear it on the radio or on UA-cam
When I was homeless, I'd play this song every night and try to beleive there was a reason to #KeepFighting;
_🎵 “Let me enlighten you 🎵_
_🎵 “This is the way I pray 🎵_
_🎵 “Living just isn’t hard enough 🎵_
_🎵 “Burn me alive, inside 🎵_
_🎵 “Living my life’s not hard enough 🎵_
_🎵 “Take everything away…” 🎵_
Tq very 👌
Been therebro. 3 years under a bridge
Same. This was a goto during the darkest depths of my addiction. I've now been clean 13 yrs. ❤ sometimes we make life a lot harder than it needs to be.
yeah keep fighting for your dreams and your dreams will fight for you
Read this right when the homeless came up. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
2025 anyone?
Here buddy! Not even close to my favorite song from them but still miles better than most new stuff!
One of my favorites. Yep
Fuck yeah
Yup
Here
I remember mornings back in 2004, getting ready to go to school, I was in 8th grade. Every morning I'd watch the Fuse channel and this would play, along with Lost Prophets, Trapt, Three Days Grace, AFI, Slipknot, Breaking Benjamin, Blink 182, Chevelle, Smile Empty Soul, SOAD, The Offspring, and some others. I loved Heavy Metal and Punk Rock, and still do!!
Heath N good times. fuck lost prophets tho...fuckin chomo frontman
Damn I didn't know that shit. You were right. Sick shit man
damn... buddy, are u my classmate or EVEN bro? :) same memo.... DAMN...
Those were the days before music turned to shit

This is the story of Job, from the bible, David would have learned it as a child. "Another truth you can never believe" is the logic behind this that trials and tribulations can bring us to God. Not a popular concept today but it has a message of hope "After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before."
Disturbed helped my husband through some hard times and i have grown to thank them for it, we love everything they come out with. Great job guys keep it up
Brandy Saunders hugs
The only metal song you can play in church
and Vengeful One lol
heh heh
Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell on the way to the church(not that i go, but if i was i would listen to this) :)
+Михаил «Kudjaks» Динев Yeah right, look at their name lol. "Black Sabbath". AKA Satan's Sabbath.
+Balloon Boi 2.0 really Satan? lol
This song dropped around the time I got home from Iraq. Lost my job, my girlfriend, my car, my place to live, my self respect, and my hope.It couldn't hit closer to home.
im sorry to hear fam, hope ur doing well now
Much love to you and thank you for your service 🙏🏼
Thanks for your service brother 👌
You have my compliment and Respect. You desirve those word, You are a Hero.
Keep fighting. Thank you for your service. God bless

I remember when September 11 happened. This song was very uplifting..
That chorus is godly.
Pun intended?
It sounds Heavenly!
The Guitar is tuned to C. This makes it sound Huge.
*Awesome*
God is real
jetclntn what’s real is that you are not an intelligent human being
@@col8179 The internet is weird.
This song came out almost 10 months after 9/11. MTV refused to show this on air because they felt people would be triggered by the falling buildings.
It's my all time favorite. MTV should have played it. It would have done more good than anything else that was on at that time and Disturbed's message rings loud in this anthem.
Lifetime fan since 2001! To David and the crew... don't ever stop.
i think MTV was over exaggerating over the video
Yup! Though it did NOT stop Disturbed's "Believe" from topping the Billboard 200 chart when it hit the shelves!
When you loose everything, and everything that was artificial has been burned away .. you find out who you really are. That is a blessing, but I do not desire to be blessed again, thank you.
Wow, that chorus is amazing. one of David’s best performances
Thank you for your comment and support over the years, we love and appreciate your love towards our art.Please send us a private mail contactusdisturbed@gmail.com
I'm going on 60 years old and I love this band and David Draiman.

Talent is talent. Those who fail to recognize talent, need to join the walking dead community.
@@babaduke3298 I actually watched an episode of The Walking Dead, and I found it rather boring. Though, I'm sure that's not what you were getting at.
@@GetYourChicken17 Nah early seasons were good and maybe I'm a little bias because they filmed it where I live but still it _was_ good early on.
@@ghostrider2214 A lot of shows suffer from seasonal rot, so I'll just take your word for it.
This came out when mtv played music.. Damn I'm old
james franklin Not anymore anyways.
Yup I remember, and I remember, the video was banned for a little while, I think because it was close to 9/11 time...but if you think about the crazy sit they show today on tv, it's commical. ....but nonetheless, there are no more real Rockstar anymore that have surfaced in the past 5+ years
+MrLegacy36 Yeah, I would agree it is hard to find good artists now. But I've been really into Red's new album "of Beauty and Rage" and Times of Grace is an awesome band that is old and only has one album but few people seem to know about it.
why is it still called MTV then
SonicCarl0411 The world will never know.
David Draiman with the golden voice!!! My ❤😍🤘
can't stop looping this. chorus is the definition of eargasm.
Yeah
Right!! Lol it's 2022 and this is just coming through so loud on my headphones... THIS will never be old!

Agreed
For real!
i think we all agree the chorus is pretty fucking good
Ireallyneedtochange Myusername so is the hole song Like the simple main riff :)
none better musically
Take away one o from good please
This song gives me strength in my darkest times. I'm truly going through a hell of a lot right now and I'm praying everyday that my beloved will get the help she truly needs and deserves. I pray to have a guardian angel watch over her and my children. I pray that the demons that have infected her mind are cast out and that she come back to us. I continue to pray for the strength to make it through this difficult time and I know God is carrying me through this.
I Pray Messiah finds You and all of US. Happy New Year and Happy Hanukkah! 🤘🏻
Still my top Disturbed song, and one of my all time favorites in all music.
It all started with this song and down with the sickness for me :P.
Exactly the same for me 😀
Nice bruh :D
For me it was The Night.

Millions of millions.
My daughter loves this song, she is 10.
I used to have a disturbed prayer that my life would get harder so that I could be forced to work harder; thinking that it would make me more instinctively diligent. I got my wish, and it worked. Rock on, bros. I ain't sick no mo! 🤟🏿✌🏿🖖🏿
David Draiman harmonizes everything so brilliantly, I can't help but to say they are one of my favorite bands ever.
Been a fan since 2002. I have every album, I’ve heard every song. This is literally my number one favorite.
this would be my second favourite of theirs
the best will always be stricken for me
I can't decide between this and Stricken.
Gabe Nelson both incredible songs
Id say this and Stricken. is my fav =)
J PD lol fan since 98 bro

This is more powerful and profound than literally any other metal song I've ever come across. It will be listened and praised hundreds of years from now. Goosebumps every time.
100 years from now humanity is not likely to exist as we know it. One EMP or solar flare could wipe it all away and send us into the dark ages.
OR
So much information will be produced daily that stuff like this will largely be forgotten, save for small groups of cool people. Have you listened to swing jazz lately? 100 years ago that was the bees knees.
Black male born in the 80s the era of disturbed soad and more was truly timeless
I think this song introduced me to disturbed
As someone whose been reading the Psalms lately, I'm really starting to love this song. It's actually a legit prayer. After hearing it for the first time in years, it sounded just like a Psalm of David. So cool. God loves it when we unload everything on to Him good AND bad. In a lot of the Psalms, David would unload to God in full honesty about how awful things were because He knew God could take it. Anyway, just thought I would share that. Keep rockin'!
This is weirdly ironic to me as David is Jewish. But a prayer is a prayer nonetheless
Imraan Akollo-Arenz psalm is part of the Old Testament which I believe the Jewish recognize that just not the New Testament
Jesse McIlvenna A lot of Davids songs are about God or the world ending. I was a drug addicted whore as well as being homeless and God opened my eyes one day. the drug and sex stoped instantly and my new life began. God is Awesome and its always nice to see another Christian enjoying Disturbed!
@@imraanakollo-arenz1449 the psalms are Jewish.
He's not 'unloading everything' on to god, it's not unloading burdens, so much as sarcastically just telling him, basically: "Screw you, keep doing your worst but it can't get worse than what you've already done!"... That's literally blame... It's kinda insane how someone can take a Disturbed song in a religiously-positive context.
Christians enjoying a song whose artist is Blaming their god, for things that they typically would Only associate as being the devil's work, it's almost ironic but it's also hilariously hysterical.
Disturbed always does it for me! My foot definitely gets a lil heavy on the gas if I'm driving! Always kill it on guitar solos!😈
Underrated band. Been listening to them since 07
i love you
I would like to know where in the hell is guitar solo on this song
+Dominik Hanuš
she never said guitar solos on this song. she said their guitar solos, meaning on other songs
Adam Barnett
I just didnt get why would you say it on this song. From what i remember they started incorporating guitar solos when they went hard rock. In TTF. These guys had a lot of potential they matured big way, and Indestructible was their best piece instrumentally it was really good listen even though it wasstill kinda generic but really good. Sadly their last two album are horrible
2021 anyone here? one of the first songs listened to on a cd player non stop
Just found this one yesterday but I'm glad that I did eventually
Hell ya we are here... turn it the fuck UP! :)
I'm 51 and just started seriously listening to Disturbed this year. Or should I say 2020. The music, for some reason, has really helped me a lot. I've always been into rock but this music has given me a new outlook on life and a reason to get up in the morning. My husband passed away in 2019 after 3 bouts with lung cancer. It has been a very rough 6 years.. I needed something to wake me up and this certainly did it! Now I'm going to Staind and Disturbed by myself in July. Lol
Listening to this song for the very first time right now.
No one one cares what year you watched this again
I need prayers to calm down i am getting married Monday and hope everything goes well 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️❤❤❤
❤I wish you both a blessed journey ✌️
I love the transition from the bridge to the chorus. It gives me chills
Disturbed hits different at 28 than it did at 18. That’s for sure.
Will always love this band.
does it? This album and their previous grabbed an entire army of lost children right out of their despair. It hits just like it was always supposed to and did, HARD
@@nerddub I guess what I mean to say is, it hits harder at 28 than it did at 18 lol
@@Doginthesleep right I feel you there I always understood the meaning but the gravity didn’t come until life experience weighed it out
Early 2000's videos had such an awesome feel to it.
Rock and metal were mainstream, so the production was pretty high-budget
Damn right
“Let me enlighten you…. This is the way I pray” feels like an embodiment of hopelessness but determination to become immortalized by power which I get from that part of the song.
Remember and prayer are both of my favorite songs. Prayer will always make get through rough times with depression now that my parents are split up now.
Here I am a middle aged woman with cancer. My body is in shock. This song just hits right.
God bless you totally happy new year))))))🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Glad you love disturbed. Love this song too. My prayers for you. You can beat this !
God bless you 🙏
I hope you're still here and doing better.
Fun fact: There was no special effect used. The camera crew just decided to record David as he takes his daily strolls around downtown Chicago while the other band members nearly die 💀
I heard this song when I was 14 years old, I was so obsessed I heard it everyday for hours. Now I’m 36 and is the same effect for me… one of my favorite bands for sure. I wish I can see you live someday ❤ prayer is out of this world
Use to always see this on MTV before I left for school...sigh, I miss those days.
Back before MTV decided to replace their music with absolute garbage that no one would even watch.
ikr
This video was actually banned by MTV back in the day. I still don't see why. Looks like Americana at its most accurate!
MTV is shit.
I usualy do not watch tv but a frind of mine does watch mtv and somtimes I realy ask myself: Can there be a Person that sits down and listens to the music that they send. becouse I can not belive that ANYONE WOULD BE ABLE TO LIFE TROUGH THAT WITHOUT BRAIN DAMAGE:
I'm 57 yrs old I love this music
I always love these kind of videos where it shows the band members in different places, and they all gather together near the end to perform the song
November 2024 here I love this song so much. But the more I see this video. It's showing what happened before and now. The video is not created by the band. But I love ❤the lyrics it is strong to keep my and many going. With everything wrong going on.
Still a jam in 2025
Forever
disturbed is godly.
It'd be nice to have them back. I miss their sound, the power, the energy they bring to every show. I feel like Draiman isn't getting the respect he deserves from The Device. I've watched clips of live shows and the crowd was disappointing on each one. If I was able to go to at least one of his shows I'd lose my shit but the crowds are dead for some reason.
im from chile, and the last show of Disturbed was here, what an amazing power of the band, and the voice of Draiman is much better in the concerts, i miss them too :(
What happened to disturbed then?
j dont know, David make her own band called Device and the other members are in others bands too, :/
Sebastian Martínez why? They were so epic!
i dont know really :/, i hpe they can make a killer comeback and rock the world one more time!
Disturbed has always been my favorite band by far, I love every song they’ve released
This song gives me chills every time I hear it.
Great tune. Suprised this came form them. After their first album. Jammed since first heard in 03. GOd/Jesus bless and save all that read this. AMEN!!
The guitar during the chorus just sounds beautiful
***** idk how they make something rhis heavy sound good
+Justin sénéchal My good friend they are Disturbed. They make simon and garfunkell sound great. ( no pun intended.)
Best part of the song is the ethereal guitar during the chorus, hits you every time.
Sugarwolf yes, yes it does

Once a prayer is spoken, something wants to watch
if the intention is good and true, like a good old scotch
So be careful with your spoken or written words
because sometimes the truth really hurts
Have hope and be kind to the ones around
this is where that was is will be found
Sometimes i just scream in my head this lyrics, to release all the anger and pain that is inside everyone and everything. The "Weltschmerz"!
This song speaks to my soul its a conversation between david and god after 9/11 and the passing of his grandfather. I also had a rough year, that year. My mom was diagnosed with cancer in april I lost my grandpa in may and then September 11th happened. This is the way I pray too, David! Rock on
the Christian according to the norm does not condone one doing ones own thing. i can understand why many don't want to hear about God. I'm a Christian but i still love rock and roll.
This song reflects how it is to be addicted to something, even though it's killing you, "living just isn't hard enough" you still want it. " take everything from you, still living this life's not hard enough". Word.
Had been looking for THIS specific song for almost a decade. Shout out to the early 2000s!
How the hell did you hear it and not know what it was? I get how it can happen with smaller, obscure stuff, but where do you originally hear it?
I need prayers for my anxiety and depression 😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
december 2020! The perfect song to this point of humanity history.
No one cares what date you watched this again. They just like because it is the thing to do atm
Prayer and Stricken, among the best.
True why I like them is probably just because of the music and lyrics like every other Disturbed song
Remember is a pretty fucking sick song too haha

There's something about the noise David makes , it gives me goosebumps!! It's so feral
This video and song portrays a symbolic meaning to how Dave wishes how he could cure everyone of their sorrow and despair!
This is just a masterpiece.

YES definitely
This song was ahead of it's time when it was released. Today it means more to people than it could've ever been imagined to

This is one of my favorite songs of all times. Everytime I am going through a rough time I listen to it and just give me the strength to continue. I just sang it right now crying. I love you David Draiman, you are definitely a preacher

Another dream that will never come true
Just to compliment your sorrow
Another life that I've taken from you
A gift to add on to your pain and suffering
Another truth you can never believe
Has crippled you completely
All the cries you're beginning to hear
Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way i pray
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Return to me
Leave me no one
Turn to me
Return to me
Cast aside
You've made me turn away
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Or gone to a lyric site
Or listened to the words with your ears.
*****
Then you are ope to mishears. I misheard "Heaven is just not hot enough" for "Living just isn't hard enough". I am not the only one who has done that.
How do you think he typed those? By listening, and translating. Which means that typed interpretation is just as open to mishearing. And that's also because David Draiman is having a seizure 99% of the time. Oh-wah-ah-ah-ah is a key example.
A song that once kept me alive when I was going through an existential crisis.
ME too ❤
I remember the summer this video came out and I listened to Believe constantly. It’s the only disturbed album that matters to me. This song made my 12 year old self realize I had depression and it was the only way to express the feelings. This is wild. I’m having some kind of midlife crisis over here lmao
12 years ago on my College days, we listen to Disturbed on my MP3 player almost everyday. Still listening these days! Amazing..

I can feel the Spartan King Leonides from this song!
Seeing these guys tonight. I'm so excited
How was it?
Lucky You!
check out the band blindspott
Lucky basterd lol. I want to see them so bad
+Blackknight1016 i saw them yesterday
OMG 2020. This song is forever.
OMG 20shut up.
god i love this concept of a song. it makes sense to both religious fanatics and atheists. it is good to know im not the only one who sees the irony in our 'all powerful god' and his seemingly ridiculous cruelness. if he were real, why would he strike so many people with so many bad events? whether or not they have a destiny to live a tough life is irrelevant, a god that loves us would not punish us based on our destiny. so, even if he is a real being, he is not the god people think he is.
God doesn't just throw shit at people like some asshole. It's all about free will. People have the ability to make their own choices in life, even of some of their destinies sucked. He will judge them accordingly. He will probably be much harder on a rich guy who had it easy his whole life and never helped anyone, than a homeless man who tried his best to live a good life, but couldn't make ends meet. If anything it proves God to me. There has to be someone to judge things and make them equal in the end. If you disagree or whatever that's totally you're opinion, but just letting you know what I think.
Its a valuable opinion but it doenst make sense to me that free will would effect chance. When good people are the victims of terrible accidents that they didnt deserve, their whole lives get turned upside down. They dont get a choice to make, its about thay fact that a god does exist and I am wrong, his choice to give people free will would not change the pure chance of an accident happening, it would just change how the person views it.
derek watson Well somewhere along the line a choice was made that led to that decision. Maybe someone decided to cut in front of him/her, and they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Its not fair, but I would think if their life is f-ed up because of it and that person say turns to drugs cuz they lost a family member in the accident, then they would be judged differently..
Read the bible sometime, you will find out. Trust me I know.
I'm sure you know enough to argue your point nathen, but your talking to someone who has been religious for years. Ive read the bible, and god isnt the way he is described, if he exists at all
22 yrs of this song n love it as much now as i did then!!!!🖤
