The lie isn't in saying "if you eat this, you will die", it's in saying "in the day that you eat it, you will die".
Eating the fruit supposedly gave them knowledge of good and evil, but indeed knowledge of mortality might be part of what's meant by that. (But maybe not, since shortly afterwards God gets all worried that they might eat from another tree and become immortal.)
