Formed in 1998 under the moniker Plan 9, the band quickly garnered a local following before changing their name to Breaking Benjamin(a name which resulted from a gig gone wrong said Benjamin Burnleyin an interview) in late 2000 and signing to Hollywood Records, where they released their first major-label record, Saturate, in 2002. The record had clear influences and touches of Tool, KoЯn, and Nirvana. The first single Polyamorousreceived much radio airplay, and propelled the band to stardom. Ben Burnley says that he taught himself the guitar by listening to Nirvana's Nevermind. He also explained in an on-air radio interview of the band (Tucson, AZ station KFMA) that he's written most songs at least half-drunk, with one exception.

Dance with The Devil Lyrics
Breaking Benjamin
Here I stand, helpless and left for dead. Cleave your eyes, so many days gone by. Easy to find what's
wrong, harder to find what's right.
I believe in you, I can show you that I can see right through all your empty lies.
I won't stay long, in this world so long.
[Chorus]
Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight. Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with
the devil tonight.
Trembeling, crawling across my skin. Feeling your cold dead eyes, stealing the life of mine.
I believe in you, I can show you that I can see right through all your empty lies.
I won't last long, in this world so wrong.
[Chorus]
Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight. Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with
the devil tonight.
Hold on, hold on.
[Chorus]
Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight. Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with
the devil tonight.
Hold on, hold on.
