| 1. Heaven
Repeating questions
To make some sense
Fragile words could offer great defence
Against myself and the creature inside
It\'s taking me over again
This evil inside me
The cause of my fall
Is giving nothing, and taking all
Failure in re-creation of heaven
And it was all alon |

 Второй альбом Before The Dawn вышел спустя ровно 14 месяцев с момента выхода первенца. За год музыка коллектива претерпела определенные изменения, но кардинально свое звучание команда не поменяла – перед нами все тот же удивительно удачный сплав готик-металла а-ля поздний Darkseed или, что для этого альбома более характерно, поздняя Katatonia (особенно ярко это проявилось в связке “Fade Away”/“Crush”/”Into You”) и мелодик-дэт с удивительно красивыми и запоминающимися мелодиями. Материал заметно прибавил в размеренности и, соответственно, потерял в скорости, однако за счет большего внимания к деталям и к небольшой электронной составляющей, которая не довлеет, а лишь создает определенный настрой, заметно выиграл в атмосферности. Партий чистого вокала стало больше, гроул лишь оттеняет главную партию, но это идет альбому “4:17” только на пользу и настраивает, простите за банальность, на философский лад. Единственное, с чем Before The Dawn не удалось справиться – это с соблюдением временного баланса, альбом несколько затянут, да и одинаковое построение композиций ближе к его окончанию несколько утомляет. Однако это не умаляет и его достоинств – не каждый день слышишь микс из Katatonia, Darkseed и Dark Tranquility. (Диск предоставлен компанией Mazzar) |

Already in hell, no reason to die
By means of violence I sacrifice
My own flesh and blood again for them
This evil inside me, the cause of my fall
Is giving nothing and taking all
Failure in re-creation of heaven
2. Seed
Lies, it all comes down on the guilty ones
Hides, their faceless looks it has begun
Dark, some dangerously oblivious
Mark, is in the eyes that grave to crush
Was there a reason for this all?
A brief moment in the past when all went wrong
A memory to reveal one by one
All the failures we have done
In you in me breeded the seed with all these fears
In you in me breeded the seed behind these tears
Was there some poison in the air
Disease without a cure infected as we inhale
Or was it all along
Like a thorn inside when we were born
3. Dreamer
I gave my speech I took my stand
Draw my marks in to the sand
And waited for the tide to wash away my faults
With violence I purify
With rusty nails I crucify
The other one behind the broken mirror on the wall
I take a step towards death, each time little dreamer dies inside
I take a step towards death, each time little dreamer cries inside
The purgatory burns inside
I perish at the stake for crimes
Of other one behind the broken mirror on the wall
Disgrace me and break me
Burn my wings and re-arrange me
Still bleeding and feeding
With blood the angels of decay
4. Fade Away
My thoughts of last years promise were to turn
Some kind of harm was on its way I learned
Could I replace what was once lost was I wrong
Enter my world
Where void has reached perfection
And dark are my days
And deep inside
Spreading like an infection
Eating me alive until I die
Truth to forget in volume which tears apart
Long live the lie or to uphold well it\'s a start
5. Crush
I crushed my self fairly well today
With no respect needless so say
I feel my worries are to stay
Yes and still, you can find some hope in me
I wonder
Today it shows
The more I know
If I can\'t see myself too clear
If I malfunctioned from this fear
Will you repair this broken soul
Yes I am tired
Take my hand and we rest awhile
6. Into You
Feast my eyes with grief and pain or
I will lose my strength to go on
Loud is the sound I hear inside and
Through the walls that hide the cries
With cruel words able to paralyze
Tear in pieces the structure of your pride
(Into you I bring all pain)
Defendless, senses unable to testify the damage done
(Into you I bring all pain)
Calm before all hell or so I feel
Today as I seem weak outside,
It is my truth which you can\'t find
And I enjoy to live a lie
You I cannot save
Prevent your destruction, unable to give protection from myself
The antichrist in shape of angel, guiding through the dark
Stay a while to show how I can change
In seconds, proving you were wrong
7. My Room
Come inside in to my room
Seems like ages I have waited you
One more time in this room like friends
Moments past a thousand times
We stood still frozen from the lies
Moments past a thousand times
Once I made my monsters die
I can rest my thoughts tonight
This what seems to be all wrong is right
Once I made my monsters die
This my friend is to be
Last of times when I meaning you
Step aside just to see the reasons
Selfish thoughts become the needs
Prepare what needed to be like new
And many times I needed you
8. The Black
This place like hell where you belong
Nation of leeches, kingdom made of thorns
Civil war inside your head is starting to breed and reform it\'s own identity
Here you have no name so death can\'t find you, define you
And hope to be resurrected back to life is gone forever
And the black wearing out your soul
Is the black haunting you in echoes
The gaze like death what you behold
Greyscale reflection, perfection so cold
Flawless shell of man is starting to break
And leave the inside for demons to take
Here you have no name so death can\'t find you, define you
And hope to be resurrected back to life is gone forever
And the black wearing out your soul
Is the black haunting you in echoes
9. Vengeance
Her voice is calling again to me with songs of suffering
She sings to me from beyond, repeats your name and the crime you\'ve done
With broken wings
Lying six feet under
Her blood in your hands feeds my
Black burning core
With flames aimed towards you
I come with vengeance and hell is coming with me
The silence almost unbearable
Brought by the violence of the one
The wrath of god is unleashed, the beast inside has taken the lead in me
10. Hiding
If I stay in darkness and hide inside where is no light
You cannot find me – you cannot find me here
If I don\'t say a word and just sit here even if you are near
You cannot find me – you cannot find me here
