Evanescence - Give Unto Me Lyrics






I've been watching you from a distance
The distance sees through your disguise
All I want from you is your hurting
I want to heal you
I want to save you from the dark

Give unto me your troubles
I'll endure your suffering
Place onto me your burden
I'll drink your deadly poison

Why should I care if they hurt you
Somehow it matters more to me
Than if I were hurting myself
Save you (save you)
I'll save you

Give unto me your troubles
I'll endure your suffering
Place onto me your burden
I'll drink your deadly poison

Fear not the flame of my love's candle
Let it be the sun in your world of darkness
Give unto me all that frightens you
I'll have your nightmares for you
If you sleep soundly

Give unto me your troubles
I'll endure your suffering
Place onto me your burden
I'll drink your deadly poison

Fear not the flame of my love's candle
Let it be the sun in your world of darkness
Give unto me all that frightens you
I'll have your nightmares for you
If you sleep soundly

Fear not the flame of my love's candle
Let it be the sun in your world of darkness

  2. A.... R....

    First on 2020 !!!

    ❤❤❤

  3. H.... G....

    Most beautiful. Evanescence for ever ❤️

  4. a.... h....

    The melody places me back 10 yrs. When everything was different, not in a good way. It reminds me of not having a voice.

  5. K.... Y....

    it was 2005. This song was on repeat and I probably anticipated this loss. On January 7th, I experienced terrible pain from the loss. I would give everything to return at least for a few hours that day and change the way of that day (and all my life ).
    This song is still with me and that pain is also still with me .
    Memories .

  6. A.... T....

    That piano opening would be good on a creepy pasta

  7. Y.... R....

    So beautiful

  8. A.... T....

    I keep thinking the start of this song should the break into "Exodus" before the lyrics enter.

  9. S.... N....

    I just can say Damn... it feels timeless, feels like a song that helps you to still going on what ever, trouble or anything you are going through
    If someone see this plz reply, any time i want to know people that feels like you really exist. This is art. And it's awesome how music can heal, influence, or can change something deep inside anybody. Big hello 2 you

  10. L.... M....

    Who still s' listen to song
    💜
    💜
    2019

    L.... M....

    I will listen to this until the day I die.

  11. p.... s....

    I hope she got away from thar narcissist she's singing about. He'd gladly put his shit on her. Very sad music here. She can't save him. And he will never save her. 😥

  12. K.... ....

    Here I was wondering if Jesus forgot me during my trials and troubles when all of a sudden this song came up.

  13. W.... I....

    Man, I wish they would release this song.

  14. E.... T....

    You know when it’s bad again..when you listen to Amy’s music on repeat,makes me feel less alone. I HATE the deep depression,numbness and dark thoughts. It all sits in the middle of my stomach,I feel guilty tbh💔🖤💔.

  15. T.... g....

    God this song came out a year before I was born I feel old but can relate to this

  16. B.... ....

    God I can relate to this.

  17. A.... T....

    This is my FAVORITE Evanescence song of ALL time.

  18. L.... 1....

    She makes every song sound creepy and beautiful at the same time. <3

  19. O.... D....

    I love you Jesus.

    O.... D....

    Amy Lee seems to be talking about letting go of the evil of herself and industry here. Every time i watch her eyes as she sings, she seems to be an honest soul. Im going through all her personally made songs. This is one of them.

  20. A.... ....

    master piece

  21. j.... m....

    music is one thing that keeps me from holding a gun to my heart

  22. S.... V....

    Sounds like someone who had been severly damaged after a toxic relationship seeking for revenge in the most seductive, chilling way. Gives me the serial killer, manipulative love vibes 😳.

  23. J.... B....

    shit this makes me cry each time

  24. J.... A....

    This is probably one of the darkest songs I can remember listening to. I love the piano in this

  25. o.... L....

    World falls the sudesst i saw my self in fear but realy fear

  26. D.... -....

    Anyone listening in 2018?

  27. C.... C....

    I love this song so much.

    C.... C....

    Today I'm still listening this beautiful song!

  28. j.... ....

    Unraveling reminds me of the piano style here and on Understanding. Such a throwback :)

    Anyone listening in 2018?
    #Evanescence

  31. U.... L....

    Oh if only this wasn't such a toxic concept.
    I love the song because I was once like that -- holding up everyone else's burdens. But looking back on it, I see how messed up it made me, how insecure I was because I just went with whatever anyone else said, never defending myself or saying no for fear of making them unhappy. There's a point at which self-sacrifice can be beautiful, and a point at which it ruins you as a person by destroying your sense of self.
    Selflessness is prided highly, partly I believe because the selfless are really easy to take advantage of. But that's just me.

    There's a time and place for everything, as they say. There is a time to be selfless and be willing to help others and give up or compromise the things you do or don't do. But when you start to give yourself, your very personality, away along with it, it becomes a problem.

    Don't be a people-pleaser. It's not fun.

  32. N.... y....

    The most tragic and sad song I ever heared in my life. you can actually feel the pain of the song writer.

  33. R.... S....

    this reminded me of my friend who took her life and these words she is singing is what i wished i would have told me friend .

  34. J.... D....

    Honestly.... I've been depressed, contemplated suicide dozens of time... but the only thing stopping me from that is my familia. I couldn't dare do that to them. After my mom passed away 1 1/2 week after my 16th birthday I've just gotten worse... but I always knew the feeling of depression even before she left... Music continues to speak for me when no one understands or listen. I love this song! Darkly Beautiful <3 "When words fail, Music speaks"

  35. n.... 9....

    ...The ending is absolutely beautiful

  36. E.... O....

    This music gives me hope and is like Jesus talking to me. Because that's what He wants: SAVE US! Whatever you are going through now, give to Him, trust Him, put Him in first place in your life, because when Jesus be the last thing you have, you will realize that He is the only thing that you ever need! Fight for the salvation of your soul, don't give up! Because everything will be destroyed in this world. So build eternal things in your life. And the only way to God is Jesus!

    *Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done. ♥

    (Sorry my bad english)

    E.... O....

    I read your comment and this song reminds me of Jesus so much now. Thank you so much!

  37. L.... V....

    I feel like I'm connected to people who are hurting emotionaly and physically because I've been there and I know what it feels like to not have anyone to help you or to deny the help because you are too embarrassed to say you're hurting. Pain is not a weekness. Pain is strength because of you can get through that, you come out of it stronger.

  38. C.... D....

    Bullying is the biggest pain and leads to committing suicide the most. A strong urge to punish ones self because they are 'not good enough', just because others say so. But they're wrong. We all have a purpose, a reason for our existence. So if you were no good, then why are you alive? We were all chosen because we mean something to someone. We all are special in our unique own way. Do t let anyone tell you your useless or wotth not hung. Because everyone is worth something. Something special

  39. N.... M....

    I think of this song as suicide and Matthew 25:40. I think it talks a lot about suicide because of the give unto me . This song truly tells a story . Also because Matthew talks about sins and this is about sins I think. Idk

  40. K.... B....

    I feel like i am In the dark.and in so much pain. I cry my self to sleep. sometimes. and I don't know how to get back. I want to be saved so much. love her music. connects with me alot.so sad would love to not be who I am anymore. hanging on though. so tough to be alone. and looked at like u are a monster.💔💔💔

    K.... B....

    At first time I cried, too. No everyone understands it. When I'm sad sometimes I cries, too

  41. U.... L....

    the ultimate sacrifice is made, not when we forsake our physical lives for another, but when we forsake our emotional and spiritual selves for them. when we live for someone else who doesn't have the strength to- that is sacrifice. that is love, in its ultimate form.

  42. d.... b....

    Very dark, yet hauntingly beautiful in a way!..

  43. M.... M....

    It's been too long and still so lonely. :(

  44. B.... T....

  48. E.... J....

    merakımdan yazıyorum. bu yazdıklarımı okuyup anlayan olur mu "give unto me " dinlerken diye. Yıllardır dinlerim ama dinlerken bu sözleri bi başkasına söyleyebilecegimi düşünerek dinlerim. Artık anlıyorum ki bir başkasının bu sözleri benim için söylenmesi gerekliymiş.

  49. C.... B....

    I'm getting a kind of COD zombies feel off this, as well as a subtle Christian vibe here anyone else?

    C.... B....

    Cody Buckler no

    C.... B....

    +Able Van Roesenheim K

    C.... B....

    Christianity is cancer.

  50. A.... m....

    Adam Hodges

    N.... A....

  54. I.... 5....

    I love Amy Lee she's my favorite idol and I inspired by her .

  55. I.... 5....

    Also the band is not gothic at all there just dark Rock Music that's all

  56. I.... 5....

    All Evanescence songs are Metaphor

  57. E.... ....

    Beautiful song truly!!!!

  58. T.... ....

    I want to dedicate this song to someone so special to me, but my stupid shyness is stopping me...

    btw this song made me cry :') I love it

    T.... ....

    Don't let your shyness stop you, just don't. I know what I am talking about.. I'm too shy to let know my loved one, that I love him.. but after some time it's better and shyness is going away slowly. Just trust yourself a little bit and do it, bcs nobody can stop you :))))

  59. S.... ....

    one of my favorite songs ^_^

  60. R.... N....

    A truly beautiful song

  61. L.... S....

    My sister dedicated this song to me, it was one of the sweetest things anyone in my life has done for me, I luv you Savannah & those sweet babies of yours <3 you've always been there for me

    L.... S....

    awww💜

  62. D.... R....

    Song reminds me of the man who cheated on his wife with me. He gave me the burden of his troubles. He said it made him feel like shit. And I drank of the poison literally. Now he's gone. And I feel the pain of his near loveless marriage.

  63. �.... T....

    It's a really meaningful and beautiful song...

    �.... T....

    She sings it for her sister Marry, who had died in the age of 3 Amy was 6 then. She had been so sad for so long. I listen to this song, because Amy has amazing voice and plays piano perfectly. ❤️

  64. A.... P....

    The part  in the beginning of the last chorus is the same. It's "Fear not the flame of my love's candle"

  65. C.... S....

    BeingAsA BrandNew
    Let him know he has a beautiful soul it's just covered by the darkness of sorrow be light of love to him I'm sure he's a beautiful being and you are so loving and beautiful to dedicate this to him you really are both of you :) have a nice day God bless

  66. r.... ....

    The summer of 2013, I was up at 3:00am listening to this on a moving train. Memories.

  67. H.... G....

    I want to save you from the dark.
    ❤ Evanescence ❤

  68. H.... ....

    :( really hurts ..

  69. T.... G....

    I'm sorry, but with the lyric layering, and having two different sets of lyrics at the same time, I keep hearing "poison" as "soy son".

  70. S.... ....

    why should i care if they hurt you?
    somehow it matters more to me then if i was hurting myself,
    save you
    save you
    I´ll Save You
    give unto me your troubles
    i endure your suffering
    Place unto me your burden
    I´ll drink your deadly poison
    <3 <3 <3 <3

  71. V.... w....

    Amy Lee, and Evanescance. She sings it with so much passion.. They're one of those timeless groups ~! 💙💜💙💜

    V.... w....

    I agree, pop songs are easily forgotten. These songs will stand the test of time.

  72. R.... R....

    I will gladly be there in your time of need, when your depression sinks you into the darkest hole. Fear not I will comfort you. I will feel your anger and loss. I will give you a way out. Lucifer . ........... Your internal soul will be mine.

  73. R.... R....

    Death in its truest form can only be recognized by the living. Without recognition you never existed did you?. Many times death is preferable over life. Death is a guarantee unlike a long life. However they are mutually exclusive, you can't have one without the other can you? It's a paradox. I have been depressed my entire life sometimes more than others. I often think about ending it, whatever it is. But something tells me not to, just the smallest spark of something. I call it God you call it what you like. I understand that death is inevitable, and that His will be done, many times I wish he would hurry with his decision. Until then I'll wait my turn.

    R.... R....

    i wish for you the best

  74. q.... ....

    So incredibly beautiful...only true fallen angles can appreciate this song and am so thankful for the greatest dark angel,Amy Lee, for singing it and bringing it to this world

    q.... ....

    queenofthedamned24 Amy is not a dark angel. She is an Light angel.

  75. E.... M....

    I know its childish....but after finishing Dragon Age 2, and the fenris romance, this song reminds me of it

  76. L.... K....

    I'll drink you deadly poison

  77. L.... K....

    .... Now words for this song it's beutiful!!! I cry all the time... It's beutiful ;-)

  78. V.... R....

    It's not the first time they've written a song pertaining to Jesus. But what I really love about songs like this is that they are ambiguous as to whom the song is referring to. That way, anyone, no matter what they believe, can relate to it. 

  79. s.... g....

    I wish I could take all the suffering and pain in the world and bare it all for the people and animals alike. My heart dies knowing all that suffer.

    s.... g....

    Same here. I'd take everyone's pain if it made them happy.

    s.... g....

    @insanity 1238 me too but it makes me feel soo sad!! I'll try to do my best for them but I hurt myself more and more..

    s.... g....

    I thought I was the only one. I got choked up reading your comments.

  80. e.... w....

    Bull this is Amy love you evanesence why as it got to be about religion

  81. F.... ....

    I just LOVE the piano in this, too bad it's a hard peice to play, will take lots and lots of practise, one day i will play good like Amy Lee :).

  82. z.... ....

    Beautiful

  83. D.... D....

    I love this so much!!!(:

  84. d.... ....

    Troubled youth: Amy understands the claims of Christ, the verses that tell us that His suffering, sacrifice and resurrection enables our sorrows, pain, confusion to be put onto Him... but only when we ask. He cannot violate our will. Trust Jesus. Amy is right.

    d.... ....

    Be gone

    d.... ....

    This isn't about Jesus or religion. Amy Lee said she didn't want Evanescence to be considered a part of the Christian Rock genre. The only religious song by Evanescence is Tourniquet, which is actually a cover of a Christian metal band Soul Embraced.

    d.... ....

    Crimson Crypt understanding is Christian. They started as Christian band n that's one of their Christian songs. That became their first hit on their town ,in fact their all stuff is all Christian. I doubt dis isn't one of them.

    d.... ....

    she clearly said she doesnt want the band to be considered as religious in anyways

  85. S.... ....

    i love all evanescence songs, this one is sad but Beautiful <3 

  86. f.... m....

    This song is incredible
    It kinda saved my life and im glad to see that there are ppl out there who achually umderstand how some ppl feel instead of judging them and steo_typing them god bless you all.

  87. M.... Z....

    her voice i swear....

  88. S.... N....

    i wantED to die..m not happy still..but god music n ppl like amy saved my soul

    S.... N....

    Sofia Nikolas 💔👼🏻❤️💔I'm glad she saved your soul😇

  89. C.... M....

    I love this song it reminds me of myself being an Empathy. Because I feel the pain and suffering of others and hurts seeing them suffer. Like children suffer and it is deeply sad to me. I can't help but cry. Why do Children suffer and why do good people suffer? I wish the world could learn to be more selfless and more caring. Pure love is a very good thing.  Like love for your family or friends, but even others who feel alone. So I often feel want others to understand that I care and they are not alone.

    C.... M....

    I understand as well. When I see people in depression and suffering, I feel like I'm in the same position as they. It hurts. I could even imagine how they are doing.

    C.... M....

    I know how that feels..

    C.... M....

    Connie Marie Forrest I feel like I'm connected to people who are hurting emotionaly and physically because I've been there and I know what it feels like to not have anyone to help you or to deny the help because you are too embarrassed to say you're hurting. Pain is not a weekness. Pain is strength because of you can get through that, you come out of it stronger.

  90. A.... S....

    I love this song so much its like it have a special connection to my life circle with friends that has been bullied and feel as if they dont feel like living R.I.P brent

  91. s.... ....

    Reminds me of Hanyuu from Higurashi..
    It just fits so well

  92. C.... A....

    Give unto me your troubles, I'll endure your suffering. Place on to me your burden, I'll drink your deadly poison.

  93. j.... ....

    I like this song keeping. It for awhile

  94. Z.... F....

    Recently discovered a Placebo song called "broken promise" that has a really similar piano riff... Two of my fave bands

  95. Z.... F....

    Z.... F....

    Love Placebo as well! 

    Z.... F....

    It's like piano plays in a darkness and amy sings there. She's still alive and wants to go on living ... And cries for help. Just like everyone. No one wants to die. This world is beautiful. I knew it, as I was under the narcosis. Its so sad there. Thanks to God, that those days are all gone away. I had became like mad. Oh, my God!!! Save us from all of it.

  96. K.... C....

    wow that is beautiful

  97. M.... R....

    Suicide. Why people lay their hands on themselves? why are they destroying themselves ?
    The truth is nobody wants to commit suicide 
    All they want is for pain to stop,problem to resolve ,sorrow to end,they just want to be happy.
    Don t judge them.
    it can happen to you , just like it happen to them.

    We all live in the world which is not perfect.We are not perfect , maybe we don’t have to be . But the thing we must never forget is that as long as you live , situation can change, there is always hope .

    If you are contemplating about  suicide , remind yourself there is always somebody who cares, there is always something to be glad about , and grateful  about.

    Don t give in to that destroying thoughts in your mind

    Don t give up on life.

    You never know what could happen in the future , maybe something good is waiting for you.

    This song makes me think about Jesus, and how he loves us all ,and wants to take all your burdens on Him. Thrust Him do not give up!!

    M.... R....

    Meri Rimbaldo very touching, i'm glad I got to read ur comment.

    Thank you.

    M.... R....

    Meri Rimbaldo Thank you for this. When I was about 12 up until I was 14, I privately dealt with self-esteem issues and suicide. I felt that I was such a massive screw up. But every time that I thought of killing myself, I kept thinking about my loving friends and family. And soon I kept thinking about God. What would be his reaction? I'm 18 now and I don't deal with massive depression as I used to. I mean, there's points where I feel so down on myself for various reasons, but by the grace of God I never think of suicide as an option anymore.

    M.... R....

    Meri Rimbaldo. nobody wants to... but foolish minds know naught of the more pain death brings. Blinded by life's pain, hell calls forth to doom them more than life could.

    M.... R....

    Sometimes, in a second, something takes over and you are not what you used to be and the sun goes down.

    M.... R....

    Meri Rimbaldo thank you

  98. k.... ....

    ...no le temas a la llama de la vela de mi amor.... Love Amy!!

  99. C.... N....

    She's talking about the angel of death.

    C.... N....

    Oh, my god. I read your comment and now I have a new perspective from the song and listened to it and now I have this new story going through my head! Thank you!:)

    C.... N....

    @Luna Raven Alot of people think religiously. If you've ever listened to Evanescence's song October, people will automatically tell you its her song to God. For me, as an atheist, I think it could be for anyone. But his comment above actually helped me use this song to think of a character (who is an angel of death) and I am currently writing the novel

    C.... N....

    Sounds right!! WOW!

    C.... N....

    Carlo Nuno or a dark angel
