Evanescence- Tourniquet (Demo Version)

Lyrics:
I tried to kill the pain
But only brought more
I lay dying
And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal

I'm dying
Praying
Bleeding
And screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?

My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation

Do you remember me?
Lost for so long
Will you be on the other side?
Or will you forget me?

I'm dying
Praying
Bleeding
And screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?

My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation

"Tell me not, Father
That thou hearest of this
Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it
It strains me past the compass of my wits
If in thy wisdom thou canst give no help
Do thou but call my resolution wise
And with this I'll help it presently!
Hold Daughter!
Be not so long to speak
I long to die!"

My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation

My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied?
Christ!
Tourniquet!
My suicide...
(My God, my tourniquet...return to me...)

[xXSweeneyLovettXx]

The 'I long to die' is Clare Danes as Juliet in Baz Lurhmann's Romeo + Juliet

[LilyMoth12]

"Be not so long to speak I long to die!" Classic Shakespeare. I love evanescence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! I love this song a lot!

At first I thought those were black wings behind her.

Would have looked epic.

@kennyleeee When you're in a band as big as evanescence who works as hard as they do, you have to make sure every song is perfect. The more demos you have, the more you find out what sound you like. Besides, this song is a cover of a song by Soul Embraced. They had to work it a bunch of different ways to figure out how it fit exactly right, because Soul Embraced is an entirely different genre of music. (Death metal.) Check them out.

why are there so many different demo versions of this song?

[Deadman5951]

This demo is awesome! Honestly, they should've put this on Fallen.
