“Lacrymosa” is a song recorded by Evanescence for their second studio album, The Open Door. The song samples the Lacrimosa sequence from Mozart’s Requiem from 1791. Amy Lee said that the song was originally written and intended for the soundtrack of the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but it was rejected due to its “dark” sound. The producers of Narnia denied the allegations. Lee further said she wrote it with the film’s opening scene in mind, but the producers rejected it because they “wanted something original”, as the song is built around Mozart’s Requiem.
