Breaking Benjamin returns this summer with a new album called Dark Before Dawn on June 23rd. The follow-up to 2009's Dear Agony will be preceded by a single called "Failure," which is scheduled to arrive at rock radio the week of March 23rd. The new single and album follow a long period of inactivity for the band during which songwriter, frontman and sole original member Ben Burnley battled health issues and was engaged in legal action against two former members.
The album is amazing!!! I feel like a teenager again!
great release. i’ll need more time to listen to it w/ a clear mind when im not at work w/ it playing in the background.
Others may dislike it, but… after several listen-throughs, this is clearly my favourite Breaking Benjamin album ever.
——————————————-
i can garantee some lyrics will be off, but not dramatically….just so everyone get a jiff of what on there….i preordered mine the day the CD version was available….so im just hoping the preorderes have a limited edition thing with them…that way everyone who found the leak will still miss out :) cant wait to learn these songs…they sound somewhat hard…

breaking the silence
ill keep my sights on a waking dream
i gave my life to the vileping me
i am but one of a dying breed
hate kills this world
but it wont kill me
im begging the silence, im falling apart for you
im chasing the vices, becoming a part of you
fake plastic life full of wasted years
love lost inside, diobolic fear
i feel no fault for the fault i feel
hope drains this world, but it wont drain me
im begging the silence, im falling apart for you
im chasing the vices, becoming a part of you
im begging the silence, im falling down with you
———————————–
hollow
stay alive
heaven holds a place for us tonight
i am teralyzed
close your eyes
drive away the could that hides away the light
and leave the pain behind
dead alive
find away to bury all the lies
escape the hate inside
cuz i dont want to fall
or let you go
love left me hollow
im with you in the end
cold crippled and shallow
dont leave me here again
fruit of life
i can hear the voices of the hive
chemicals collide
loaded smile
light the way for those you left behind
set the earth on fire
cuz i dont want enought
i want it all
love left me hollow
im with you in the end
cold crippled and shallow
dont leave me here again
i cant go on
you are bound to break me in
i come undone
as you drag me down again
i come undone
————————————————-
close to heaven
pain come alive
i try to breath
shave my eyes
follow the damned
i have lost the way again
stay trust in life
carried beneath
dead arise
sorrow avenged
i willl face the weak within
so ill stay unforgiven
and ill keep love together
and ill be yours forever
ill sleep close to heaven
hate lost inside
i dare to dream
fateless lies
caught in the web
i will face the weak within
so ill stay unforgiven
and ill keep love together
and ill be yours forever
ill sleep close to heaven
im coming home
im coming home
im coming home
release me my love
so ill stay unforgiven
and ill keep love together
and ill be yours forever
ill sleep close to heaven
ill sleep close to heaven
ill sleep close to heaven

bury me alive
i keep falling out of line
i was drained and left behind
all will fade petrified
feed the hate and start the lies
falling inbetween
i am called beneath
light the way and let me go
suffocate inside
i will break and watch you crawl
bury me alive
i keep falling out of time
i was blamed and coterized
all will change and come to fight
feed the hate and start the lies
falling inbetween
i am called beneath
light the way and let me go
suffocate inside
i will break and watch you crawl
bury me alive
control
lies inside
lies inside
light the way and let me go
suffocate inside
i will break and watch you crawl
bury me alive
light the way and let me go
suffocate inside
i will break and watch you crawl
bury me alive
bury me alive
bury me alive
———————————————-
never again
carry me under
leave me abandoned
show me whats left
show me whats left
beautiful anger
breaking the patter
show me whats left
show me whats leff
take the color from your eyes
i bleed for you
i bleed for you
bring the broken back to life
well make it through
well make it through
empty and perfect
shadereed and worthless
show me whats left
show me whats left
draging me further
forget to remember
show me whats left
show me whats left
take the color from your eyes
i bleed for you
i bleed for you
bring the broken back to life
well make it through
well make it through
never again
never again
time will not take the life from me
never again
never again
time will not take the life from me
and after this world is out of reach
sober and solvent
fading and violent
hope as i fight to hold between
never surrender
out of the embers
save the space inside for me
take the color from your eyes
i bleed for you
i bleed for you
bring the broken back to life
well make it through
well make it through
never again
never again
time will not take the life from me
never again
never again
time will not take the life from me

the great devide
carry me all through the night
i am the last light fading
leave all the lost souls behind
show me the silece breaking
and when your lost and out of time
i will be right here waiting
and when your dreams return to life
ill be forever fading
and well fall behind
so ill wait for you
as i keep your faith alive
and ill pray for you
as we cross the great devide
bury the wound deep inside
rupture the fault line breaking
dream of the world left behind
show us the world forsaking
and when the cold begins to rise
darkness is overtaking
and when the fear is satisfied
ill be forever changing
as we all “alize”
so ill wait for you
as i keep your faith alive
and ill pray for you
as we cross the great devide
and ill pray for you
as i open up the sky
and ill stay for you
as we cross the great devide
follow the sunlight down
“crack here and loud”
heaven wont help us now
but its better this way
one by one
feel the hate
so ill wait for you
as i keep your faith alive
and ill pray for you
as we cross the great devide
and ill pray for you
as i open up the sky
and ill stay for you
as we cross the great devide

ashes of eden
will the faithfull be rewarded
when we come to the end?
will i miss the final warning
from the lie i have lived
is there anybody callling
i can see the soul thin
and im not worthy
i am not worthy of this
are you with me after all
why cant i hear you
are you with me through it all
then why cant i hear you
stay with me, dont let me go
because theres nothing left at all
stay with me, dont let me go
until the ashes of eden fall
will the darkness fall upon me
when the air is growing thin
will the light begin to pull me
to its everlasting will
i can hear the voicing haunting
there is nothing left to fear
and i am still calling
i am still calling to you
are you with me after all
why cant i hear you
are you with me through it all
then why cant i feel you
stay with me, dont let me go
because theres nothing left at all
stay with me, dont let me go
until the ashes of eden fall
dont let go
(scattered) infront of me
take my hand
shine until theres nothing left but you
this album was sadly a “failure..” ;C
