I just copied and pasted it here.
So, if it's spelled wrong it's not my fault.
And yes, it is from the Evanescence song.

The first two words are easy - the next is a little messed up.
Servatis - It's a form of the verb 'servare', meaning 'watch over, guard, protect, etc.' It's the present tense indicative, 2nd person plural, so it translates to 'you protect' or 'you are guarding'.
a = Preposition meaning 'by' or 'from'
Pereculum - 'pereculum' doesn't make it as a Latin word. There is a Latin word 'periculum', but that would not be the right form. The preposition 'a' requires that the noun be in ablative case, which is 'periculo'. = That means 'danger'.
Servatis a periculo = You are protecting from danger.

What your are looking for is Servatis a periculum, servatis a maleficum, from a song of Evanescence, righ? Pereculum is wrong.
That means, Save us from danger, save us from evil.

"servatis" means "to save"
"pereculum" means "danger"
so it would be "to save from danger" or something like that

I believe It means:
You save from danger
Servatis= you (pl) Save
a= from
Periculum= Danger
