Darkest Before Daylight [Don't Close Your Eyes]

by Synyster   Aug 10, 2005


[A new song written by myself and the band. We hope you like it. It'll be performed at our show in November]

Don't close your eyes...
Don't close your eyes...

Don’t close your eyes
When your sun abandons your sky
Hold your head up high
As everything crumbles and dies

When the world is on your shoulders
When tears fall like rain from the stars
You find yourself asking why
As it all starts fading to black
You’re caught in the undertow
Pulled in by the vertigo

Don’t close your eyes
When your sun abandons your sky
Hold your head up high
As everything crumbles and dies

All is not what it seems
Look through the ash to find the means
There’s someone there beside you
A friend within the shadows
Who will be your saving grace
Just keep in mind – It’ll be all-right
Because it’s always darkest before daylight

Don’t close your eyes
When your sun abandons your sky

[Spoken] “Don’t give up, I’ll be right there with you
Don’t worry now, because it’ll all heal – like new”

Don’t close your eyes
When your sun abandons your sky
Hold your head up high
As everything crumbles and dies

[Spoken] “Because it’s always darkest before daylight”

    Thank you. I recorded this a while ago. I need to find a copy of it and upload it to my new computer. I might make a music video for it and post it up.

    Wow I love this! I am sure it's a beautiful song. wish I could hear what it sounds like sung. What kind of band do you have--meaning any plans for an album of some sort? you have talent!

    Powerful song. Loved the line: When your sun abandons your sky
    This has a really nice message to it, and is well written. Really is incredible.
