about
This is a cover of Soul Embraced's song Tourniquet, from their album "For the Incomplete." My arrangement is partially based on Soul Embraced's original, and the cover Evanescence recorded for their debut, "Fallen."
lyrics
[Note: Soul Embraced is a Christian band. While I respect the obvious passion behind these lyrics, I do not endorse their message.]
What I though would kill the pain
Only brought more
I lay, dying, and it's pouring
Crimson regret, and betrayal
I'm dying, praying, bleeding, and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
My god, my tourniquet
Return to me: Salvation
My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied Christ, tourniquet?
My soul saved
Do you remember me?
Lost for so long
Will you be on the other side?
Or will you forget me?
I am dying, praying, bleeding, and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
I want to die!
My god, my tourniquet
Return to me: Salvation
My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied Christ, tourniquet?
My suicide
