[Verse 1]
I found my reflection in a broken window pane
It wasn't there this morning, now it's gone again
The clock above the station says I've got a little time
Before the hunger takes the wheel and leaves my soul behind
I can feel the shadows gathering beneath my skin
Every hour the daylight fades, the beast is moving in
[Chorus]
Find me before sunset
Find me while I still know my name
Find me before sunset
Drive the stake and end this game
If you wait for moonlight
You'll be running, you'll be prey
Find me before sunset
Or there'll be hell to pay
[Verse 2]
I walk the crowded avenues pretending I'm alive
Smiling at the strangers that I know I won't tonight
The children laugh, the lovers kiss, the city's full of light
And every glowing heartbeat sounds louder every night
I'm begging from the inside of a slowly closing cage
The monster wants tomorrow, but I don't want another day
[Chorus]
Find me before sunset
Find me while I still know my name
Find me before sunset
Drive the stake and end this game
If you wait for moonlight
You'll be running, you'll be prey
Find me before sunset
Or there'll be hell to pay
[Verse 3]
There was a girl in white lace waiting by the river bend
She placed a silver ring upon my hand and called me friend
Now the centuries hang around my neck like chains of gold
And every happy face I see reminds me I've grown old
I watch the lovers in the moonlight spinning through their lives
Knowing every spark of joy becomes the thing that I deprive
I don't envy their tomorrows, I don't covet what they own
I only miss the simple dream of never being alone
[Chorus]
Find me before sunset
Find me while I still know my name
Find me before sunset
Drive the stake and end this game
If you wait for moonlight
You'll be running, you'll be prey
Find me before sunset
Or there'll be hell to pay
[Bridge]
You think I'm telling stories
You think it's all a show
But when the crimson evening falls
There's someone else below
And he'll be stronger than my warning
Faster than your fear
The man who's singing to you now
Will disappear
[Final Chorus]
Find me before sunset
Find me while there's time to choose
Find me before sunset
Before the last of me is lost to you
Because when the darkness calls me
Mercy fades away
Find me before sunset
Don't let me see the night again
Find me before sunset... Before the night again...
