before night falls
like leaves in autumn wind
I shall have turned my back

before the stars twinkle
like a thousand diamonds
I shall have left this place

rain has come and taken away my sun
clouds have taken my light away
lonely I feel
left with nothing but my despair

before night falls
like teardrops from my face
I shall have said goodbye

before the dark comes
like velvet blue and black
I shall be gone forever

sorrow has come and taken away my joy
demons have taken my soul away
empty I feel
left with nothing but my doom

before night falls
like birds with broken wings
I shall have disappeared

before light fades
like my tracks in the sand
I shall no longer be here

time has come and taken away my hope
hours have taken my life away
lost I feel
left with nothing but my pain

before night falls
like snow on frozen earth
I shall be missed by you

before life ends
like a flame extinguished by the storm
I shall be dead
