Dead By Dawn Lyrics by Showbread

No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical

2004

[Verse 1]
Tonight's twilight will be the last
Seen by our eyes
So if it seems so beautiful
Kiss the beauty goodbye
Oh, my little cornea
Please say that you are no more
Ears please swear
You did not hear
This creaking in the cabin floor
I'll forgive my eyes for lovely lies
So certainly within my will
Please declare this piercing stare
So false at a clock sitting still

[Bridge]
Such pretty skin
Give it to us
Such pretty skin
Give it to us
The sun won't rise
My spirit dies
All hope has withdrawn
So here I lay
Because either way
I know we'll all be dead by dawn

[Chorus]
Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn!
Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn!
Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn!
Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn!
Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn!
Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn!
Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn!
Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn!

[Verse 2]
Shotgun shells
This rotting smell
Lingers on words that were said
Her body in pieces, my hand cut away
The ever-enchanting book of the dead
Sun won't rise
My spirit dies
All hope has withdrawn
Here I lay
Because either way
I know we'll all be dead by dawn
A chainsaw can remove a limb or acts as a replacement
Smell the gas as hours pass, contrary to my statement
The corpses wish to cover me with kisses
So just maybe I'll cover this cabin with their blood
Hail to the King, baby!

[Refrain]
Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn!
Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn!

[Outro]
Oh, yeah!
