General Information

Written by: A. Lee, B. Moody and D. Hodges

Amy Lee says that this song is about loving someone so much that you’d bring them back from the dead. 1 of 5 pre-Fallen songs to ever be played on radio (the other four are Lies, Understanding, the earliest demo version of Whisper and Give Unto Me). Only pre-Fallen song ever performed live on radio.

The intro uses a sample from White Zombie's "Ratfinks, Suicide Tanks and Cannibal Girls", which was released four years prior [1]. The song also features a clip from "The Crow" movie [2].

Ben's quote about the song from Metal Edge article:

"That was so long ago...I was like eighteen, and we just found this little loop thing, and we just thought it sounded really cool and crazy and we thought it would be really cool to build a song around it. Then, one day, Amy and I thought about someone who’s in a relationship, they lose their loved one, and they kind of flip out, and they go and dig them up, kind of like [Tom Petty’s] "Mary Jane’s Last Dance" – We kind of thought we’d take that one step further."

Amy's quote about the song from the same magazine:

"It’s interesting – I don’t understand why, but it’s more sexual, not necessarily in the lyrical content, but just in the feel of the music for me, the song seems really sexual. I have no good reason for that, but that has always been that song for me, it’s cool because that song is kind of different. The song wasn’t written from life experience, it was basically just a cool story."

Lyrics

Album Version

Give me a reason to believe that you're gone
I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong
Moonlight on the soft brown earth
It leads me to where you lay
They took you away from me but now I'm taking you home

I will stay forever here with you, my love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on

Some say I'm crazy for my love, Oh my love [my love]
But no bonds can hold me from your side, Oh my love
They don't know you can't leave me
They don't hear you singing to me

I will stay forever here with you, my love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
And I can't love you, any more than I do

I will stay forever here with you, my love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
And I can't love you, any more than I do

People die, but real love is forever

Acoustic Version

Give me a reason to believe that you're gone
I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong
Moonlight on the soft brown earth
It leads me to where you lay
They took you away from me but now I'm taking you home

I will stay forever here with you, my love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on

Some say I'm crazy for my love, Oh my love
But no bonds can hold me from your side, Oh my love
They don't know you can't leave me
They don't hear you singing to me

I will stay forever here with you, my love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
And I can't love you, any more than I do

I will stay forever here with you, my love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
And I can't love you, any more than I do
