General Information
The 4th track on Evanescence's self-titled album, Evanescence (album). It was chosen to be the second single, but the first mainstream single.[citation needed]
In a track-by-track interview with NME.com, Amy said[1]:
|
Let's see, this is another one from that session when we wrote What You Want. Actually the song at first we were jamming Tim and Terry and I. I actually used to play that piano part on the harp because it was a lot slower and a little bit easier. And then it just got faster and faster at pre-production with the band. And when we get into recording I was cool, get in the harp and I was like 'Nah, this is not possible anymore, it's way fast'! So it's a piano part, actually I think it sounds better as a piano part. It's more prominent, it's a stronger instrument so you're hearing it a little bit more.
I love that song, it's definitely one of the more passionate tracks on the album. And I hope that that's the second single, I think it might be. |
|
In another interview with Kerrang Magazine, Amy noted that the song was inspired by her involvement with the organisation Restore NYC rather than romantic heartbreak as the title of the song might suggest. [2]

"A good friend of mine heads up an organisation in New York that rescues victims of sex trafficking", Amy clarifies. "My husband and I got involved and were really moved and horrified. As I was writing the song I was putting myself in that place - what would it be like to be trapped? Threatened? Alone? Unable to tell anyone what was happening because you're afraid of what would happen?" |

Lyrics
Album, Single and Rock Mix/Rock Mix Edit Versions
I will wander till the end of time
torn away from you
I pulled away to face the pain
I close my eyes and drift away
over the fear that I will never find a way to heal my soul
and I will wander till the end of time
torn away from you
My heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us from sorrow's hold
Over my heart
I can't go on living this way
But I can't go back the way I came
chained to this fear that I will never find a way to heal my soul
and I will wander till the end of time
half alive without you
My heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us
Change
Open your eyes to the light
I denied it all so long, oh so long
Say goodbye
Goodbye
My heart is broken
release me, I can't hold on
deliver us
My heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us
My heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us from sorrow's hold

Over the fear that I will never find
A way to heal my soul
And I will wander till the end of time
Torn away from you
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us from sorrow’s hold
(Over my heart)
I can’t go on living this way
But I can’t go back the way I came
Chained to this fear that I will never find
A way to heal my soul
And I will wander till the end of time
Half alive without you
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us
Change
Open your eyes to the light
I denied it all so long
Oh so long
Say goodbye, goodbye
My heart is broken
Release me, I can’t hold on
Deliver us
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us from sorrow’s hold
