| 1. Disappear
Inhale
Breath inside infected air
Airborn cancer spreading everywhere
Starting to tear apart
Apart from flawless shell itґs in our hearts
Disease that has been brought to a fine art
We unleashed
The flames of the end
Empyrium within
Is burning like pyre
We set the heaven  |

 К своему третьему альбому Before The Dawn пришел изрядно обновленным – от прежнего состава не осталось никого, кроме главного автора всех композиций Томаса. Другие люди, другой продюсер, другой год – все это вылилось в изменение стилистики коллектива: теперь уже готическая составляющая ушла на второй план, партий чистого вокала и атмосферных клавиш убавилось, зато жестких мелодик-дэтовых риффов и гроула стало заметно больше. Теплая, интеллигентная атмосфера первых двух альбомов уступила место холодной и жесткой безразличности рабочего класса – мелодическая линия также поменялась, она стала более предсказуемой и прямолинейной. Это не испортило общих впечатлений, однако слушать Before The Dawn стало менее интересно – из их музыки пропала какая-то неуловимая черта, которая выделяла их из общей массы, теперь же они превратились в добротного середняка, послушать которых приятно, но запомнить – задача куда сложнее. А вот заигрывание с модным звучанием (типа песен “Ghost Town” в большей степени или “Enemy” в меньшей) на пользу группе не пошло – это явно не их конек. (Диск предоставлен компанией Mazzar Records) |

Today I feel
I wish to disappear
Leave without a trace
Wish to become
A transparent one
A ghost under the sun
Betray
Broken trust you canґt repair
Weґre just victims
Thereґs no one to blame
First rule in this game
You play
Hide and seek of predators and preys
Our true nature
Revealed in godless ways
2. Repentance
To prove my own existence
Not just breathing but alive
Repentance taking place inside my head
Price of my remission
Shed blood and retaliate
Repression of my rage I have denied
Devoid of emotions
Senseless and dead inside
Final retribution on itґway
No hope of revival
Salvation of a kind
No irresolution
Itґs my will, itґs my way
Mark my words
Every accepted failure and fault
Will turn you weak and hollow
3. Away
One circle of sun ago
I saw in you some colours
Instead of 13 shades of gray
Today you name disgraced
With your shape erased from pictures
Like 8th day of creation
When all is said
I prefer to hear only voice of silence
When air turns bad between us
Breathing turns to self inflected violence
Turn away
Walk away
I slay and burn if you return to take some actions
Seek satisfaction, burn my core
A faceless one what you have become
Just like deadmanґs phantom
You donґt exist, You donґt belong
4. Scar
Needles in my nerves
Nails in my spinal cord
Acid burns inside my veins
Blood creating stains
Limbs with broken bones inside
Tearing my flesh
Penetrating through my skin
I cannot feel a thing
Peeling my skin
Revealing tissues underneath
Taste the blood while I breath
Limbs with broken bones inside
Tearing my Flesh
Penetrating through my skin
I cannot feel a thing
Canґt recognise myself
So torn apart
The scars and burning marks
On my skin while the real pain
Hurts deep within
5. Angel's Tombstone
Dreamworld so dark
Where I follow your trace
Only place where I can see your face
Feel your touch
Fell your skin
So long I have been waiting
To feel you in my arms
And I wish to be
Buried inside the abyss
Where light has withered and died
And my princes walks by my side
Her black wings
Carrying me
The shape of seraphim
Black wings carved in stone
Sleeping down below
Buried under the snow
This icy burial ground
Like snow white skin
Now seals my soul within
Like pair of stars
Burning in sky
Like heaven was set on fire
Cold flame inside
Of two pearls made of ice
Dark light shining in your ice
Your voice enchants
Words seduce
Strongly I refuse
To be awaken
From this dream
Let you be taken (from me)
6. Black Dawn
Words unspoken
And plans left undone
Thoughts so dark to share with someone
Eyes deceive
And words mislead
Hardly an open book for you to read
Read between the lines
See behind my eyes
Touch something inside
Anything to wake me up and realize
Misinterpretation about life
Endearment of death
Inearths and blinds
Breaks inside
Dying sun is rising
Solar flares reach to the ground
Burning me
Setting free
Flames of the end
After all the life inside
Still so much death in my thoughts
Itґs killing me
Sharpen teeth
And nine inch nails
Blades like razors
Softly impales
Burn marks around my skin
I am the father
To define my sins
She begins to spread
Her black feathered wings
Darkness that she brings
Spreading like black cancer cells
The sound from death bells
Playing the lullaby
Notes of my demise
Soundtrack for my dreams, nightmares, beliefs
7. Enemy
Fighting against the one I see
Mirror reveals my worst enemy
Zero tolerance for weakness and remorse
Breaking point reached long ago
Some things inside should be left alone
Our intelligence too low to deal
The hell inside
Darkness ate all the light
With sorrow as my guide
I deny you
Soon itґs impossible to deal
Make difference between
And to separate
World of darkness from the light
Itґs dying inside
Black and white before my eyes
No emotions
Touch as cold as ice
Frozen and paralysed inside
8. Stormbringer
In dream once again
I am sinking
Beneath the surface of the sea
Dark waters surrounding
I fall in reign of waves
In this cold embrace
I disappear without a trace
In dead calm
Ocean deep inside
Longing for the moon to bring the tide
I watch her scent
Standing at the waters end
She calls my name and black rain
Starts to descent
Without grief
Without pain
I let the falling rain
Wash away my fears
Soul that seared
Now purified and free
Clouds above creating circle
Her voice like thunder
Calling for the storm
To raise the flood
9. Ghost Town
10. ...Nowhere
No god above to hear prayers
No guardian angels to lead my way
I carry marks of different race
Amongst you cannot find my place
Where do I belong?
Not by myself but alone
Restless soul without a home
I carry marks of a different race
Amongst you cannot find my place
