Breaking Benjamin - Dark Before Dawn Lyrics
Copyright: Lyrics © Original Writer and Publisher
Failure
Life will come our way,
It has only just begun.
The world will die alone
The frail will fall below.
Time will take our place.
We return it back to one
The calm before the cold,
The long and lonely road.
Look for the light that leads me home.
Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Failure.
Drive the cloud away,
We will fall from last to none.
The dark before the dawn,
The war will carry on.
Look for the light that leads me home.
Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Tired of wasting breath, tired of nothing left.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Failure.
Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Tired of wasting breath, tired of nothing left.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
We bury the sunlight (Failure), we bury the sunlight (Failure).
Failure! Failure.
We bury the sunlight (Failure), we bury the sunlight (Failure).
Failure! Failure.
Failure.
It has only just begun.
The world will die alone
The frail will fall below.
Time will take our place.
We return it back to one
The calm before the cold,
The long and lonely road.
Look for the light that leads me home.
Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Failure.
Drive the cloud away,
We will fall from last to none.
The dark before the dawn,
The war will carry on.
Look for the light that leads me home.
Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Tired of wasting breath, tired of nothing left.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Failure.
Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
Tired of wasting breath, tired of nothing left.
Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.
We bury the sunlight (Failure), we bury the sunlight (Failure).
Failure! Failure.
We bury the sunlight (Failure), we bury the sunlight (Failure).
Failure! Failure.
Failure.

Hollow
Stay alive
Heaven holds a place for us tonight
I am paralyzed
Close your eyes
Drive away the cloud that hides the light
And leave the pain behind
Dead alive
Find a way to bury all the lies
Escape the pain inside
'Cause I don't want to fall
Or let you go
Love left me hollow
I'm with you in the end
Cold, crippled, and shallow
Don't leave me here again
Fruit of life
I can hear the voices of the hive
Chemicals collide
Loaded smile
Light the way for those you left behind
Set the earth on fire
'Cause I don't want enough
I want it all
Love left me hollow
I'm with you in the end
Cold, crippled, and shallow
Don't leave me here again
I can't go on
You are bound to break me in
I come undone
Don't you drag me down again
I've come undone!
Love left me hollow
I'm with you in the end
Cold, crippled, and shallow
Don't leave me here again
I can't go on
You are bound to break me in
I come undone
Don't you drag me down again
Heaven holds a place for us tonight
I am paralyzed
Close your eyes
Drive away the cloud that hides the light
And leave the pain behind
Dead alive
Find a way to bury all the lies
Escape the pain inside
'Cause I don't want to fall
Or let you go
Love left me hollow
I'm with you in the end
Cold, crippled, and shallow
Don't leave me here again
Fruit of life
I can hear the voices of the hive
Chemicals collide
Loaded smile
Light the way for those you left behind
Set the earth on fire
'Cause I don't want enough
I want it all
Love left me hollow
I'm with you in the end
Cold, crippled, and shallow
Don't leave me here again
I can't go on
You are bound to break me in
I come undone
Don't you drag me down again
I've come undone!
Love left me hollow
I'm with you in the end
Cold, crippled, and shallow
Don't leave me here again
I can't go on
You are bound to break me in
I come undone
Don't you drag me down again

Close To Heaven
Pain come alive, I try to breathe, shade my eyes
Follow the damned, I have lost the way again
Stay, trust in life, carried beneath, dead arise
Sorrow avenged, I will face the weak within
So I'll stay unforgiven
And I'll keep love together
And I'll be yours forever
I'll sleep close to Heaven
Hate lost inside, I dare to dream, faithless lies
Caught in the web, I will face the weak within
So I'll stay unforgiven
And I'll keep love together
And I'll be yours forever
I'll sleep close to Heaven
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Release me, my love
So I'll stay unforgiven
And I'll keep love together
And I'll be yours forever
I'll sleep close to Heaven
I'll sleep close to Heaven
I'll sleep close to Heaven
Follow the damned, I have lost the way again
Stay, trust in life, carried beneath, dead arise
Sorrow avenged, I will face the weak within
So I'll stay unforgiven
And I'll keep love together
And I'll be yours forever
I'll sleep close to Heaven
Hate lost inside, I dare to dream, faithless lies
Caught in the web, I will face the weak within
So I'll stay unforgiven
And I'll keep love together
And I'll be yours forever
I'll sleep close to Heaven
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Release me, my love
So I'll stay unforgiven
And I'll keep love together
And I'll be yours forever
I'll sleep close to Heaven
I'll sleep close to Heaven
I'll sleep close to Heaven

Bury Me Alive
I keep falling out of line
I was drained and left behind
All will fade and petrify
Feed the hate and start the lies
Falling in between, I am caught beneath
Light the way and let me go (suffocate inside)
I will break and watch you crawl
Bury me alive!
I keep falling out of time
I was blamed and cauterized
All will change and calcify
Feed the hate and start the lies
Falling in between, I am caught beneath
Light the way and let me go (suffocate inside)
I will break and watch you crawl
Bury me alive!
Control!
Lies inside, lies inside
Light the way and let me go (suffocate inside)
I will break and watch you crawl
Bury me alive!
Light the way and let me go (suffocate inside)
I will break and watch you crawl
Bury me alive! Bury me alive!
Bury me alive!
I was drained and left behind
All will fade and petrify
Feed the hate and start the lies
Falling in between, I am caught beneath
Light the way and let me go (suffocate inside)
I will break and watch you crawl
Bury me alive!
I keep falling out of time
I was blamed and cauterized
All will change and calcify
Feed the hate and start the lies
Falling in between, I am caught beneath
Light the way and let me go (suffocate inside)
I will break and watch you crawl
Bury me alive!
Control!
Lies inside, lies inside
Light the way and let me go (suffocate inside)
I will break and watch you crawl
Bury me alive!
Light the way and let me go (suffocate inside)
I will break and watch you crawl
Bury me alive! Bury me alive!
Bury me alive!

Never Again
Carry me under, make me abandoned
Show me what's left, show me what's left
Beautiful anger, breaking the pattern
Show me what's left, show me what's left
Take the colour from your eyes
I bleed for you, I bleed for you
Bring the broken back to life
We'll make it through, we'll make it through
Empty and perfect, shattered and worthless
Show me what's left, show me what's left
Dragging me further, forget to remember
Show me what's left, show me what's left
Take the colour from your eyes
I bleed for you, I bleed for you
Bring the broken back to life
We'll make it through, we'll make it through
Never again, never again
Time will not take the life from me
Never again, never again
Time will not take the life from me
And after this world is out of reach
Sober and silent, faded and violent
Hopeless, I fight to fall between
Never surrender, out of the embers
So save a space inside for me
Take the colour from your eyes
I bleed for you, I bleed for you
Bring the broken back to life
We'll make it through, we'll make it through
Never again, never again
Time will not take the life from me
Never again, never again
Time will not take the life from me
Show me what's left, show me what's left
Beautiful anger, breaking the pattern
Show me what's left, show me what's left
Take the colour from your eyes
I bleed for you, I bleed for you
Bring the broken back to life
We'll make it through, we'll make it through
Empty and perfect, shattered and worthless
Show me what's left, show me what's left
Dragging me further, forget to remember
Show me what's left, show me what's left
Take the colour from your eyes
I bleed for you, I bleed for you
Bring the broken back to life
We'll make it through, we'll make it through
Never again, never again
Time will not take the life from me
Never again, never again
Time will not take the life from me
And after this world is out of reach
Sober and silent, faded and violent
Hopeless, I fight to fall between
Never surrender, out of the embers
So save a space inside for me
Take the colour from your eyes
I bleed for you, I bleed for you
Bring the broken back to life
We'll make it through, we'll make it through
Never again, never again
Time will not take the life from me
Never again, never again
Time will not take the life from me

Ashes Of Eden
Will the faithful be rewarded
When we come to the end
Will I miss the final warning
From the lie that I have lived
Is there anybody calling
I can see the soul within
And I am not worthy
I am not worthy of this
Are you with me after all
Why can't I hear you
Are you with me through it all
Then why can't I feel you
Stay with me, don't let me go
Because there's nothing left at all
Stay with me, don't let me go
Until the Ashes of Eden fall
Will the darkness fall upon me
When the air is growing thin
Will the light begin to pull me
To its everlasting will
I can hear the voices haunting
There is nothing left to fear
And I am still calling
I am still calling to you
Are you with me after all
Why can't I hear you
Are you with me through it all
Then why can't I feel you
Stay with me, don't let me go
Because there's nothing left at all
Stay with me, don't let me go
Until the Ashes of Eden fall
(Don't let go)
Why can't I hear you
Stay with me, don't let me go
Because there's nothing left at all
Stay with me, don't let me go
Until the Ashes of Eden fall
Heaven above me, take my hand (Stay with me, don't let me go)
Shine until there's nothing left but you
Heaven above me, take my hand (Stay with me, don't let me go)
Shine until there's nothing left but you
When we come to the end
Will I miss the final warning
From the lie that I have lived
Is there anybody calling
I can see the soul within
And I am not worthy
I am not worthy of this
Are you with me after all
Why can't I hear you
Are you with me through it all
Then why can't I feel you
Stay with me, don't let me go
Because there's nothing left at all
Stay with me, don't let me go
Until the Ashes of Eden fall
Will the darkness fall upon me
When the air is growing thin
Will the light begin to pull me
To its everlasting will
I can hear the voices haunting
There is nothing left to fear
And I am still calling
I am still calling to you
Are you with me after all
Why can't I hear you
Are you with me through it all
Then why can't I feel you
Stay with me, don't let me go
Because there's nothing left at all
Stay with me, don't let me go
Until the Ashes of Eden fall
(Don't let go)
Why can't I hear you
Stay with me, don't let me go
Because there's nothing left at all
Stay with me, don't let me go
Until the Ashes of Eden fall
Heaven above me, take my hand (Stay with me, don't let me go)
Shine until there's nothing left but you
Heaven above me, take my hand (Stay with me, don't let me go)
Shine until there's nothing left but you

Dark Before Dawn is the fifth studio album by American rock band Breaking Benjamin, released on June 23, 2015, by Hollywood Records. It is the group's first studio album following the band's hiatus lasting from early 2010 to late 2014, and the first album to feature an entirely different lineup alongside founder and frontman Benjamin Burnley. Produced and composed by Burnley, the album took shape towards the end of the hiatus and was mostly written before the new lineup "even played a single note together." The recording process took place afterwards at both a personal studio of Burnley's and at the same studio Phobia (2006) was recorded, with all of the band members performing their respective instruments, including background vocals performed by guitarist Keith Wallen and bassist Aaron Bruch, making the record their first to feature vocals other than Burnley's.
The album was a critical and commercial success. It garnered mostly positive reception, with many critics praising the album for staying true to the group's established sound, although others criticized it for sounding derivative and formulaic. Burnley described that he did not want to "reinvent the wheel" with the album. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, the group's first in their catalog, earning 141,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, making it heretofore the group's most successful sales effort.
The album was released to much greater international chart success than previous albums; until Dark Before Dawn, the band had never charted outside North America or New Zealand. The album's lead single is "Failure", which was announced alongside the album on March 18, 2015.
