Just Before the Dawn Lyrics

Desperation, hanging by a thread
Self-inflicted words are left unsaid
Counting down the seconds, minutes, hours and the days
My thoughts, they come and go then drift so far away

Beneath the stars - a serenade
The song still lingers on
And though the light above begins to fade
"Cause it's always darkest just before the dawn..."

Preservation, riding out the storm
Broken dreams, now splintered, ripped and torn
Journey on, the course is set - the wind is at my back
Our shadows dwell in brightest light then fade to black

Beneath the stars - a serenade
The song still lingers on
And though the light above begins to fade
"Cause it's always darkest just before the dawn..."

Up from the depths, the sunlight thaws away the ice
Rising higher, reaching for paradise

Chasing down the dream, night after night
Beneath the skin, the wounds lie out of sight
Scars, they only heal but they never go away
Hanging on, I'm hoping just to make it through the day

Beneath the stars - a serenade
The song still lingers on
And though the light above begins to fade
"Cause it's always darkest just before the dawn..."
