15 Best Disturbed Tracks

15. Prayer

Prayer isn’t as intense as some other songs, but while the instrumental work might feel like it isn’t up to par with what’s expected of Disturbed, once again vocalist David Draiman provides excellent lyrical work to complement the guitar and drums.

Instead of being directly about some kind of direct pain and suffering, ‘Prayer’ has obvious religious overtones, acting as what the band called ‘a modern version of the story of Job’. The song’s whole message is to demonstrate humanity’s undeterred spirit, and the music video accompanying the song - which features the band members uniting despite many almost supernatural forces trying to stop them from doing so - illustrates such an idea in action.

But what made the music video particularly controversial when it came out was that it featured crumbling buildings that, in the immediate post-9/11 world, was a very (unintentionally) touchy subject. However, that didn’t take away from the more direct message: keep moving forward, no matter how much life, fate or God throws at you.

Best 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”
