We Are the Fallen was an American-Irish gothic metal band consisting of former American Idol contestant Carly Smithson, Marty O'Brien and former Evanescence members Ben Moody, John LeCompt, and Rocky Gray. The band's name is an allusion to Evanescence's 2003 album, Fallen, which has resulted in criticism for their similar style to Evanescence. In a Los Angeles Times interview, co-founder of Evanescence, Ben Moody, said that We Are the Fallen differs from Evanescence in that "everyone is equal" and that it has "more energy than Evanescence could ever muster." He also stated, "We cannot try to be who we are. If there is some similarity in sound, it's because that genre was created by us."
History
Formation
We Are the Fallen began forming when Moody had discussions with Evanescence band members Gray and LeCompt about the band moving in a different direction than originally planned. Moody felt something had to change in order to preserve their style of music and left due to "creative differences" with Amy Lee, the band's co-founder and frontwoman. Years later when Gray and LeCompt also left the band, Moody reached out to them in attempts to continue where they had left off in 2003 with Fallen, recruiting O'Brien in the process. The band held auditions looking for a lead singer in New York City and Moody feared that the search for the band's "soulmate" was going to take a long time due to the exhaustive process. Moody's roommate showed him videos online of Smithson performing her rendition of Evanescence's "Bring Me to Life" which was coincidentally the song all singers used to audition for Moody and the band. Ben was then introduced to Smithson who was developing a solo album after the tour with American Idol.

LYRICS:
Memories flood through my brain
Tears drown my heart, filled with rage
Blinding silence takes your place
Broken forever by this life
Why?
Wake from where you lie
Don't say goodbye
I'm praying for more time
Don't sleep tonight
Heaven hear me, hold them safe
Time stands frozen, no more strength
Broken forever by this life
Why?
Wake from where you lie
Don't say goodbye
I'm praying for more time
Don't sleep tonight
(Why?)
Wake from where you lie
Don't say goodbye
I'm praying for more time
Don't sleep tonight
Why?
Wake from where you lie
Don't say goodbye
I'm praying for more time
Don't sleep tonight
(Lay low)
(Peaceful dreaming)

Now i will tell you what i've done for you 50 thousand tears i've cried Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you And you still won't hear me (i'm going under) Don't want your hand this time i'll save myself Maybe i'll wake up for once Not tormented daily defeated by you Just when i thought i'd reached the bottom I'm dying again I'm going under Drowning in you I'm falling forever I've got to break through I'm going under Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies So i don't know what's real and what's not Always confusing the thoughts in my head So i can't trust myself anymore I'm dying again I'm going under Drowning in you I'm falling forever I've got to break through So go on and scream Scream at me i'm so far away I won't be broken again I've got to breathe i can't keep going under I'm dying again I'm going under Drowning in you I'm falling forever I'm going under Going under I'm going under
