I'm just learning that Ben wrote the entirety of My Immortal, lyrically at least. Did Amy write the rest of the songs on Fallen by herself? I'm not 100% sure on this but I had heard that Amy helped with the lyrics for the bridge of My Immortal when it changed from the original version. Other than that, MI is Ben's song and I believe Amy has referred to it as Ben's song a few times. I'm guessing lyric-wise, yes, Amy wrote most of them with the exception of My Immortal and Tourniquet. The second verse of Tourniquet have lyrics not heard in the original by Soul Embraced so maybe she had a hand at that but I don't think that has ever been vetted out. Ben said in his letter on EvBoard that ultimately he would never have been able to let another girl on stage and sing Amy's lyrics which leads me to believe that she did write most of the lyrics on Fallen. I also think the journal lyrics that were on Ev's website at the time during the Fallen era would back that up too. I do think Ben and David did contribute quite a bit to the instrumentation of the songs, but I think that the lyrics were mostly Amy's work.

I think you pretty much covered all of it, and your answer makes sense given everything we know about the band. Thanks
