Before the Summer Dies Lyrics by Swallow the Sun

Songs from the North I, II & III

2015

[Verse 1]
We fall like leaves from the skies, down with the sun
North winds are taming her down, chased away for a lifetime
Into the twilight, away with the light
We are the children who stare into the night
[Chorus]
We are the ones
The children of the setting sun
We are the ones
Who pray upon the fading light
We are the ones
The children of the setting sun
We pray upon the night
[Verse 2]
Summer is fading like time, runs through your fingers
And night will harvest us down, before the words of goodbye
Into the twilight, away with the light
We are the children who stare into the night
[Chorus]
We are the ones
The children of the setting sun
We are the ones
Who pray upon the fading light
[Post-Chorus]
We are the ones
We are the ones
[Verse 3]
We fall like leaves from the skies, down with the sun
And storms will arrive and harvest us down, down with the sun
We pray for the night to give us one more sunrise
To shine from our eyes before the summer dies
