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. Subsequently, the truncated version became more readily available to fans making the unabridged version difficult to come by.
