Evanescence -- Before The Dawn [LYRICS]

My first lyrics video. What do you think??? I dont own the music or anything, I just made the video.

[@xXSkyWarriorXx]

Every now and then, I log into this account to check comments and see how much the views have gone up, and it’s weird to me that a random lyrics video that I made in an hour when I was 14 years old is still being watched and appreciated today. It meant a lot to me as a kid. I’m 24 now and engaged and this is still one of the coolest random things I ever did. 😂

[@eduardoorvananosarcher4053]

I come back from time to time because this song is nowhere to be found except here, and it's probably the best Evanescence song ever created

[@siswanabe9721]

Thanks to the 14 year-old you. You made a lasting contribution.

[@wanderessmusic]

I found this video when I was 17 years old and I used to listen to it and think to myself “I can’t wait to grow up, and find love and run away with him and live in a sanctuary with the love of my life” I was under the idea that maybe when I got older - love would be more simple and that we would create some sort of nymph Woodland together of life and this song carry’s those little dreams I harbored within myself about what I dreamed love to be when I was an innocent teenager. I’m 30 now and I’ve learned that love is more painful than it is magical. But I still listen to this song to this day, and it brings me feelings of immense peace and solace. I knew the song from when I was like 13/14 I downloaded it off of limewire - but when I stopped using limewire and switched to KZbin, this video helped me fall asleep so many times when I was crying myself to sleep. It really helped me to feel safe in my dreams about love. I think that the male vocals with hers are so beautifully blended. I hope to be able to write a song this powerful and soothing someday.

[@vampirequeenofficial]

Such true words. I've also found much comfort in this song. Seems that the only true paradise is within our own souls and the beautiful worlds that live within us.

Hello, everyone! I thought about this video again today and thought I’d give you all an update on what’s been going on since I last posted. I’m 26 now, and living with a cousin in a brand new place! Very exciting stuff, and I’m thriving in my new environment. But more importantly, as of today (when I most recently checked anyhow 😅) this video has 1.6 MILLION views, which honestly blows me away! Thanks so much for validating my edgy little 14-year old self after all this time. ❤️ I’ve often wondered if I should make another lyric video whenever I have the free time and the motivation strikes me. What would you guys like to see if I do decide to make another?

[@mymissingpuzzlepiece1983]

im happy for u, thank you, take care yourself

[@lydiageekz6848]

I hope you do make another! To see someone who is still active on an 11 year old video is amazing, and if you came back it would mean the world!! ❤️

[@bennett475]

Nice to see you're still around and kicking after all these years; back when you was 14 and I was 16, these songs were our everything and helped us out when we were fed up with everything going on around us - the Lyric videos were a fantastic outlet where you could let out so much of them emotions. Your audience have moved on just like you have with life, I'm not sure another lyric video would hit like these types did hehe. I still come back here every x amount of months when I want to reminisce back to my edgy teenager days. Typically at 2AM when I can't sleep, like I did back then when Myspace was a thing :P

I never thought that I would be using this song for my wedding last summer but also not even 10 months later for my late husbands funeral. Years ago he found this cd and bought it for me. I've loved it then and I still love it to this day. This song has helped me get through his passing as I envision him to be my guardian angel. I fly so far away in my dreams with him by my side.

This is the song ı relentlessly listened to while pondering over committing suicide. Luckily, these hurtful, bad days have passed by and this song doesn't hurt me as it used to hurt.

[@BinTtown]

Glad you all made it through those tough times...but the truth? Most of Amy Lee's songs that sound PRO-SUICIDE are actually ANTI-SUICIDE...she's telling you to run away with your love. That said, it doesn't take away from what you all went through and it's good you made it through.

Every time I hear this song I cry my eyes out. It means more to me than any other song I've ever heard. The sound of It brings back memories of happier and more peaceful times. But now my life is harder than it used to be, and the beautiful feeling this song gives me I hope will never leave me. I hope one day I can personally thank Amy and the band for what they've done for me :)
