Ascension of the Spirit

General Information

Written by: A. Lee and B. Moody

The first recorded instrumental ever made by Evanescence. The only official version of this track is 11:48 long and mostly consists of silence. It features a clip from the movie "My Boyfriend's Back" that starts at around 2:55. The actual music starts around 8:19. When the song was re-distributed by unauthorized means (see Fake), the silence and aforementioned audio sample were cut (3:15). Subsequently, the truncated version became more readily available to fans making the unabridged version difficult to come by.
