Career
Evanescence
Moody was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. He met Amy Lee in 1994 while at a youth camp and the two eventually became friends. They soon began playing music at local shops. Within a few years, the pair began selling EPs at local shows, culminating in their discovery by Wind-up Records and the release of their major label debut album, Fallen, in 2003. Moody abruptly left the band in October 2003 during their European tour, citing "creative differences".
Solo career
Beginning in 2004, Moody began collaborating with a variety of artists, working in multiple disciplines. That year, he co-wrote the track "Nobody's Home" for Avril Lavigne's second album, Under My Skin, and wrote and recorded the track "The End Has Come" with Jason C. Miller and Jason "Gong" Jones for The Punisher soundtrack. He then wrote with David Hodges, Kelly Clarkson, and others for Clarkson's second album, Breakaway, working on the songs "Because of You" and "Addicted".

Sanctuary
by: Ben Moody"Father never warned him of the dead that live within, tearing through his skin at last."
Heavy head in battered hands, the tortured boy kneels
Praying to an empty god to see his end tonight
Father never warned him of the dead that lives within
Tearing through his skin at last
I am not your sanctuary
I am not your alibi
Try and break through the walls around you
Beat me with broken hands
I will silence you
Just beyond the shadows waits a darkness
Only you, my child, can bear this gift from me
I leave you now to claim your place
Across the great divide
All shall suffer me
I am not your sanctuary
I am not your alibi
Try and break through the walls around you
Beat me with broken hands
I will silence you
I am not your sanctuary
I am not your alibi
Try and break through the walls around you
Beat me with broken hands
I will silence you
I am the enemy
I am not your sanctuary
I am not your alibi
Try and break through the walls around you
Beat me with broken hands
I will silence you
