Recorded during the 2001-2002 demo sessions, “Before the Dawn” is a song about two or more strongly-connected people planning to leave or escape to another location.

David Hodges was hoping this song would be on Fallen, but “it didn’t really fit the idea of the record.”

Although it’s never been officially published, it was registered on Amy Lee’s BMI repertoire, along with other two demo tracks, “Anything for You” and “Bleed”.
