Songfacts®:

  • The music for "Endless Night" was originally penned by Trivium vocalist Matt Heafy before bassist Paolo Gregoletto wrote the lyrics. Heafy told TeamRock the story of the song:

    "I have a friend who owns a personal training company, and he asked me to score their yearly video for their trainers. I was like, 'Oh yeah, sure. Piece of cake.' I had been doing scoring stuff for local businesses, local real estate companies, food trucks, these little things in Orlando. So I said, 'What do you want?' And he said, 'Something like Dying In Your Arms'. Alright, that's easy. I did this thing, sent it to him, he loved it. I showed the guys, and they were like, 'This is really good, we should use it for Trivium.' So again, we all reworked it together, and Paolo did all the lyrics."
  • The video features Trivium performing in the woods and, at times Matt Heafy singing underwater. The clip was directed by John Deeb and shot in the band's hometown of Orlando, Florida.
