Born Without a Dawn by Obituary Pending
Born Without a Dawn
[Intro – Soft, Melancholic]
No morning breaks…
No golden light…
Only endless night.
Born without a dawn.
[Verse 1]
I opened my eyes to a world turned gray,
The sun had fled, and life slipped away.
Once I laughed in the warmth of day,
Now I stumble in shadows, lost and betrayed.
The wind feels cold where it used to sing,
The sky, a canvas without offering.
Every heartbeat is hollow, every breath a lie,
I am alive, yet destined to die.
[Pre-Chorus]
The taste of blood, a bitter grace,
The night becomes my only place.
[Chorus]
Born without a dawn,
The light I knew is gone.
I chase the world I cannot see,
Forever trapped in misery.
Born without a dawn,
The sun’s embrace withdrawn.
I am a shadow in a sleepless night,
Lost to the day, deprived of light.
[Verse 2]
Memories of warmth haunt my mind,
Sun-kissed laughter, the gentle kind.
Now my reflection hides a hollow stare,
A stranger’s eyes, a vampire’s despair.
I hear the songs of the birds at daybreak,
And feel the sting of the life I forsake.
The world moves on, while I remain,
A creature of hunger, sorrow, and pain.
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the sun in my dreams alone,
Its glow now foreign, forever gone.
[Chorus]
Born without a dawn,
The light I knew is gone.
I chase the world I cannot see,
Forever trapped in misery.
Born without a dawn,
The sun’s embrace withdrawn.
I am a shadow in a sleepless night,
Lost to the day, deprived of light.
[Bridge – Slow, Heartbreaking]
Every heartbeat of the living I taste,
Yet it mocks me, this cruel embrace.
I can touch, I can see, I can hear,
But warmth and hope disappear.
I once dreamed of love, of morning skies,
Now I dwell where sunlight dies.
The stars may shine, but they’re cold and far,
And I wander blind beneath each scar.
[Verse 3]
The night is endless, the pain a chain,
Each step a reminder of loss and bane.
I whisper to shadows, I beg to the wind,
For a dawn that I will never find again.
And in my reflection, pale and grim,
I see the death of all that’s within.
The living go on, unaware of my plight,
I am forever trapped in eternal night.
[Chorus – Final, Wistful]
Born without a dawn,
The light I knew is gone.
I chase the world I cannot see,
Forever trapped in misery.
Born without a dawn,
The sun’s embrace withdrawn.
I am a shadow in a sleepless night,
Lost to the day, deprived of light.
[Outro – Whispered Lament]
No morning…
No warmth…
No hope…
Born without a dawn…
Forever night.
