“Even in Death” is the seventh track on the band’s demo album Origin. It’s about not accepting the death of a loved one.
The song was performed live during the Fallen tour.
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
[Bridge]
And I can't love you, anymore than I do
[Chorus]
I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
[Outro]
And I can't love you, anymore than I do
People die, but real love is forever

Amy Lee said:
That song was a little bit of storytelling about not wanting to accept the death of your loved one and just going nuts—to the point that I would go out and dig up the grave.
