Forsaken by Jonathan Davis (Korn) and David Draiman (Disturbed)

This song was written for the movie, Queen of the Damned, by Jonathan Davis, the singer for Korn. In the movie, Jonathan supplied the singing voice for the main character, the vampire, Lestat, but because of contract conflicts, he couldn't record the songs from the movie on the soundtrack. Instead, he brought his friends from other bands to record them for him.
In the movie, the 'video' for this song is what you see after Lestat meets the band and then you see a press conference with the band immediately afterward. In the movie, they spectulate that Lestat is revealing old vampire secrets through the lyrics of his music.
I love this movie, I have seen it six times and it's a good movie. I don't normally love vampires, I stopped loving them after they became sparkly, but I love these vampires.
If you haven't watched this movie, I recommend you do.

I am going to put up two versions of the videos for the song:
The first is the video from the movie, the one with Jonathan Davis

The second is a mash up of scenes from the movie, but this one is with the person who did it on the soundtrack, David Draiman from the band, Disturbed
