Evanescence - Anywhere



Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me, and
Dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be halfway to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you
Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you now

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

Evanescence - Away from me



I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll
I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds
But oh, God, I feel I've been lied to
Lost all faith in the things I have achieved, and I-

I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all the lie I've created
I'm longing to be lost in you
(away from this place I have made)
Won't you take me away from me

Crawling through this world as disease flows through my veins
I look into myself, but my own heart has been changed
I can't go on like this, I loathe all I've become

I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all the lie I've created
I'm longing to be lost in you
(away from this place I have made)
Won't you take me away from me

Lost in a dying world I reach for something more
I have grown so weary of this lie I live

I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all the lie I've created
I'm longing to be lost in you, I-
Have woken now to find myself
I'm lost in shadows of my own
I'm longing to be lost in you
Away from me
From me (x7)

Evanescence - Eternal



[Instrumental song]

Evanescence - Even in death



Give me a reason to believe that you're gone
I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong
moonlight on the soft brown earth
it leads me to where you lay
they took you away from me but now I'm taking you home

[chorus]
I will stay forever here with you
my love
the softly spoken words you gave me
even in death our love goes on

Some say I'm crazy for my love, oh my love
but no bonds can hold me from your side, oh my love
they don't know you can't leave me
they don't hear you singing to me

I will stay forever here with you
my love
the softly spoken words you gave me
even in death our love goes on

And I can't love you, anymore than I do

Evanescence - Field of Innocence



I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now

Where has my heart gone?
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow,it seems colder now

Where has my heart gone?
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything

[Latin hymn:]
Iesu, Rex admirabilis
et triumphator nobilis,
dulcedo ineffabilis,
totus desiderabilis.

[Translation:]
O Jesus, King most wonderful
the conqueror renowned
the sweetness most ineffable,
entirely desirable.

[Man:]
"As the years pass by
Before my face,
As wars rage before me,
Finding myself
In these last days of existence,
This parasite inside me,
I forced it out.
In the darkness of the storm
Lies an evil,
But it's me."

Where has my heart gone?
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything

Oh where, where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything

I still remember.

Evanescence - Imaginary




Swallow it up for the sound of my screaming
cannot cease for the fear of silent night
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
the goddess of imaginary light

In my field of paper flowers
and candied clouds of multiply
I lye inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

I linger in the doorway
our alarm clock screaming monsters calling widening
let me stay
where the wind will whisper to me
where the raindrops as there falling
tell there story

If you need to leave the world you live in
lay your head down and stay awake
though you may not remember dreaming
something waits for you to breath again

In my field of paper flowers
and candied clouds of multiply
I lye inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

Evanescence - Lies



Ohhh oohh oohh oohh ahh ohh ohh oohh oohh oohh ohh ohh oooh ohh(x3)
: Deep Heavy Speaking :
Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within and persuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again

You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above

They'll never see
I'll never be
I struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me

: Deep Heavy Speaking :
But through my tears breaks a blinding light
Birthing a dawn to this endless night
Arms outstretched, awaiting me
An open embrace upon a bleeding tree

Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you

They'll never see
I'll never be
I struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me

They'll never see
I'll never be
I struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me

Ohhh oohh ahh oohh ahh ohh (x4)

:Heavy Scream:
Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived yet died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you

They'll never see
I'll never be
I struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me

Ohhh oohh ahh oohh ahh ohh (x4)
fade out

Evanescence - My Immortal



I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me


I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

Evanescence - Origin



Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
And all this time I've been so hollow inside
(And I know you're still there)

Watching me
Wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you
Loving you
I know I'll find you somehow

Hunting you
I can smell you- alive
Your heart pounding in my head

Calling me
Killing me
I won't let you pull me down
Saving me
Raping me
Watching me

(Watching me
Wanting me
I can feel you hold me down
Fearing you
Loving you
I won't let you hold me down)

Watching me
Wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you
Loving you
I won't let you hold me down

Evanescence - Where will you go?



You're so important for anyone
You play the role of all you long to be
But I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone

[Chorus]
But where will you go
(where will you go)
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You can't escape

You think that I can't see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You're left to face yourself alone

[Chorus]
But where will you go
(where will you go)
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth

I realize you're afraid
but you can't abandon everyone
You can't escape
You don't want to escape

I am so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone
I can hear you in a whisper
But you can't even hear me screaming

[Chorus]
Where will you go
(where will you)
With no one left to save you from yourself oh
You can't escape the truth

I realize you're afraid
But you can't reject the whole world
You can't escape
You won't escape
You can't escape
You don't want to escape

yah.yah x5

Evanescence - Whisper




Catch me as I fall
Say you're here, and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here, and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain, if I will it all away
If i will it all away...

Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep, never die...)

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow, I know that there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain, if I will it all away
If I will it all away...

Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep, never die...)

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me, I fear
She beckons me, shall I give in?
Upon my end, shall I begin?
Forsaking all I've fallen for, I rise to meet the end

oh oh oh oooh oh
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep, never die...)

Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep, never die...)

Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light...
(Never sleep, never die...)

Servatis a periculum...
Servatis a maleficum...
(repeat and fade out)
