My Immortal

One of the very few songs I love from Evanescence. Caught it first time it played on my iPod U2 Limited Edition, I swear I didn't remember who uploaded this song. I thought, "Who sang this song?" and I looked it up, "Evanescence?? How could they even have a song like this?" But then I remembered Amy Lee, the lead vocalist, who had a clear voice like the one you could hear singing gospels at churches. She's the one that made a metal song such as "Bring Me to Life" more than bearable to my ears.

This song is simply beautiful and haunting.

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

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you 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 light
Now I'm bound by the life you 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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Later I got a video shared on my Facebook, using this song as background. A video about speeding, the mood was built up a perfect gloom. You may want to watch it here. CAUTION: The video is not for the faint of heart. Up to now, I still cannot erase the image of that girl, looking lovingly at her boyfriend, when a car spins and rolls right toward them .. "When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears .. When you scream I'd fight away all of your fears .." Dammit!
