Ben has released songs on both The Punisher and Fantastic Four soundtracks (the former also features fellow Evanescence co-founder, Amy Lee performing with Seether).
On Tuesday December 16, 2008 he released his Mutiny Bootleg EP, which came free with a copy of Hana Pestle's EP that night. Moody is quoted as saying "there’s a duet between Hana and I on there that won't be on the record and won’t be released anywhere ever again. It’s free because I want this sh*t spread everywhere, so be sure that all your friends share the four songs with as many people as possible!" The EP is therefore available for free download from http://drop.io/benmoodymutinybootlegep.
His debut solo album, All For This, featuring Hana Pestle on backing vocals, has been in the works since 2005 and was released June 9, 2009 on iTunes, Amazon MP3 and Amie Street via his own record label. The physical release is forthcoming.
We Are The Fallen, featuring Ben Moody, John LeCompt and Rocky Gray (all formerly of Evanescence), along with Carly Smithson and Marty O'Brien, debuted on June 22, 2009 with the song "Bury Me Alive."

Everything Burns
Ben Moody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Singing herself to sleep
Wrapped in all of the promises
That no one seems to keep
She no longer cries to herself
No tears left to wash away
Just diaries of empty pages
Feelings gone a stray
'Till everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Till everything burns
Ooh, oh
Walking through life unnoticed
Knowing that no one cares
Too consumed in their masquerade
No one sees her there
And still she sings
'Till everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Till everything burns, everything burns
(Everything burns)
Everything burns
Watching it all fade away (all fade away)
Everyone screams
Everyone screams (watching it all fade away, ooh)
'Till everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning down lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Till everything burns
(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away
(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away
The song "Everything Burns" by Ben Moody features lyrics that express the pain and frustration of an individual who feels neglected and unimportant in a world that is caught up in its own masquerade. The singer is depicted sitting in a corner, singing herself to sleep, wrapped in the promises that no one seems to keep. She is devoid of tears to wash away her worries and is left with only diaries of empty pages, with her feelings gone astray. Yet, despite all this, she continues to sing until everything burns.
The lyrics can be interpreted as an outburst of anger and vengeance born out of the singer's frustration with society's indifference and the broken promises that she has experienced. She sings of burning everything down - everything that had hurt and angered her - to reign supreme with her anger. The verses of the song serve as the build-up to the explosive chorus, where the singer belts out her fury, unapologetically. The reference to "everything burning" may be symbolic of her desire to destroy everything that reminds her of the pain and sorrow she has suffered, like a phoenix rising from the ashes of her despair.
In conclusion, "Everything Burns" brings to the forefront the frustration and fury that can arise when someone feels neglected and let down by society. The song captures the essence of disillusionment felt by those who have lost hope in the promises made to them, leading to an outburst of anger and bitterness.

This is a really good song for The Joker. If we can just get Mark Hamill to sing it! And the guy has proven he CAN sing! He’s got 8 confirmed songs under his belt! Why doesn’t he have his own album yet? Come on!
And here’s the FULL AND COMPLETE version lyrics:
He sits in his corner
Laughing himself to sleep,
Wrapped in all of the promises
That no one seems to keep!
He no longer cries to himself,
No tears left to was away!
Just diaries and empty pages,
Feelings gone astray!
But he will laugh—-
‘Till everything burns,
While everyone screams,
Burning in their lies,
Burning my dreams!
All of this hate,
And all of this pain,
I’ll burn it all down
As my anger reigns,
‘Till everything burns! Oh!
Walking through life unnoticed,
Knowing that no one cares!
Too consumed in their masquerade,
No one sees him there!
And still he laughs—-
‘Till everything burns,
While everyone screams,
Burning in their lies,
Burning my dreams!
All of this hate,
And all of this pain,
I’ll burn it all down
As my anger reigns,
‘Till everything burns! Oh!
Here I sit in a corner,
Laughing myself to sleep,
Wrapped in all of the promises
That I never seem to keep!
I no longer cry to myself!
There’s no tears left to scratch away!
Just diaries of blood-stained pages
Praying to burn away!
So I will laugh—-
‘Till everything burns,
While everyone screams,
Burning in their lies,
Burning my dreams!
All of this hate,
And all of this pain,
I’ll burn it all down
As my anger reigns,
‘Till everything burns! Oh!
Walking through life unknown,
Knowing that no one cares!
But who could love what I won’t let them touch?
No—-nobody’s getting in here!
There’s no sense reaching out,
Not in hope or in doubt,
For a cause
Or a remedy!
I’ve done all I can!
I just don’t understand!
Why it’s all
Got to come down to me?
So I will laugh—-
‘Till everything burns,
While everyone screams,
Burning in their lies,
Burning my dreams!
All of this hate,
And all of this pain,
I’ll burn it all down
As my anger reigns,
‘Till everything burns!
Everything burns!
(Everything burns!)
Everything burns!
(Everything burns!)
Watching it all fade away!
(All fade away!)
Everyone screams!
Everyone screams!
(Watching it all fade away!)
Oooh, oh! (Everything burns—-)
(While everyone screams!)
Burning their lies!
Burning my dreams!
(All of this hate,)
And all of this pain,
I’ll burn it all down
As my anger reigns—-
‘Till everything burns!
(Everything burns!)
Watching it all fade away
(Ooooh, ooh!)
(Everything burns!)
Watching it all fade away!

I am a metalhead by nature. But no song has ever touched that angry part of me inside that just wants to watch everything burn, like this song did. I feel so angry it's amazing. I've been hurt a lot in my life, maybe more than most people. It's nice to be mad sometimes, rather than just endlessly sad.
