BEFORE THE DAWN LYRICS

1. Decade Of Darkness

A decade ago I felt like unbreakable
And I had an angel in my songs
A long time has past, but many things have lasted
I still hear the wings of a seraphim

I am still a sleepless dreamer
Stand behind father and son
Black heart, faithless, unbeliever
Still each night before the dawn I hear the deadsong

I am alone
With monsters in my room
They have come to take me

Before I disappear
Into my darkness
I want you to hide me

I watch the morning sun
Without vengeance or wrath
I'll wait for the black dawn to come
Don't look behind, wish for things to be undone
Things happen for a reason under the dying sun

2. End Of Days

First snow is starting to fall
This winter will last forever
In the end
Oblivion waits for us all

As the daylight dies
Last flame lingers in the scorched sky
Voice of death
Carries no broken promises
This is the end of day

The end of our world
And our very existence
What was it worth
Waiting for the rebirth
Of the earth
Once worn will be reborn

3. Insomnia

4:19am
I have been here before
In a corner, on the floor
Sorrow chose this hour
Sadness set this time

Into the dark
Where I breathe free
But you can't see
I want you to leave me

Like a universe without a sun
And black hole as a soul
Creates an abcense of light
Like I was born broken inside

4. Painless

Without fear I watch the sun that burns horizon
Black flames from the deathstar above
With strength I'll burn

The reason for me to see
Death in my dreams
A silent reminder
The end of all will kill the pain

Slowly I sear, I bury myself alive
And feel the weight of the world
Crushing all, to the abyss I fall

5. Painless (Live)

Without fear I watch the sun that burns horizon
Black flames from the deathstar above
With strength I'll burn

The reason for me to see
Death in my dreams
A silent reminder
The end of all will kill the pain

Slowly I sear, I bury myself alive
And feel the weight of the world
Crushing all, to the abyss I fall

6. Deadsong (Live)

The container of my soul
was severed from my shell
At birth I was stigmatized
by fires of hell
This hollow space inside
is growing still
It's going for the kill
Beneath the blood red sky
the song was born
The sky was bleeding
when I sang her the deadsong

By my burning cradle
The lullaby of death
was sung by dark angels
The daughters of flame

She slept under my wing
A cold embrace
Death's loyal servant
now filled with pain
Forever haunted
by her angelic face

[Chorus]

These chains
Hold me down
Down on this frozen ground
in this world
where death walks the earth
The sign of reaper
given in birth

7. Deadsong (Symphony Version)

The container of my soul
was severed from my shell
At birth I was stigmatized
by fires of hell
This hollow space inside
is growing still
It's going for the kill
Beneath the blood red sky
the song was born
The sky was bleeding
when I sang her the deadsong

By my burning cradle
The lullaby of death
was sung by dark angels
The daughters of flame

She slept under my wing
A cold embrace
Death's loyal servant
now filled with pain
Forever haunted
by her angelic face

By my burning cradle
The lullaby of death
was sung by dark angels
The daughters of flame
