"Lies" is the ninth track on Evanescence's demo album, Origin.
Background[]
Bruce Fitzhugh of the band Living Sacrifice provided the male vocals and Stephanie Pierce provided the female backup vocals on the Origin version.[1][2] Early in the 2001-2002 demo sessions for Fallen, this song was remade with backup vocals from David Hodges, but with different lyrics. The latter version (also known as “It Was All A Lie”) was labelled by fans as a "remix", but Amy Lee noted that fans should refer to it as "Post-Origin demo".
In September 2019, a never-before-seen footage of what is credited as the first Evanescence live performance ever taped, dated January 1999, was uploaded on YouTube. It's the earliest footage of "Lies", performed one year prior to its release on Origin.[3] Later, in May 1999, the song would be performed live again at Vino's Bar, whose footage was leaked in April 2009.[4]
Lyrics[]
Origin version[]
[Bruce]
Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear [Bruce/Amy]
You will never be strong enough [Amy]
They’ll never see [Bruce]
But through my tears breaks a blinding light [Bruce/Amy]
Rest in me and I'll comfort you [Amy]
They'll never see They'll never see [Bruce]
Rest in me and I'll comfort you [Amy]
They'll never see |
Post-Origin version[]
Bind [Bind] my limbs with fear [fear] |
