Lyrics
[intro]
[Verse1]
Running for my life,
Can't escape its sight
Deadly presence lurking
In the dead of night
Time is running out;
The countdown has begun
But I won't give up;
I'll keep on the run
[build-up]|
[Pre-Chorus]
Hope is running out; I am losing ground.
It's clawing at the ground, a vicious, violent sound, but I've got to keep running; I won't back down.
[Power-Cord Drop]
[Chorus]
In this deadly game
I fight for my life
Facing my demons in the dark
trying to stay alive
Though the odds are against me
I won't back down
I'll keep on fighting; otherwise...
I'll be dead by daylight.
[Verse 2]
Heartbeat getting louder
Fear starts to rise
Chased by the darkness
Under moonlit skies
Every step I take
Brings me closer to the edge
But I won't let it take me
Won't be filled with dread
[Break]
[Chorus]
In this deadly game
I fight for my life
Facing my demons in the dark
tryin' to stay alive
Though the odds are against me
I won't back down
I'll keep on fighting; Otherwise...
...I'll be dead by daylight.
[Verse 3]
Whispers in the shadows
Echo in my mind
Each passing moment
Leaves sanity behind
Cold sweat on my skin
Breath hangs in the air
But I won't surrender
To this nightmare
[Melodic Bridge]
In the silence, I hear my heart's plea,
A haunting melody calling out to me,
Through the veil of fear, I'll find my way,
Guided by the night, I'll live another day.
[Build-Up]
[Chorus]
In this deadly game
I fight for my life
Facing my demons in the dark
tryin' to stay alive
Though the odds are against me
I won't back down
I'll keep on fighting; Otherwise...
...
Otherwise...
...
...I'll be dead by daylight.
[Chorus]
In this deadly game
I fight for my life
Facing my demons in the dark
tryin' to stay alive
Though the odds are against me
I won't back down
I'll keep on fighting; Otherwise...
...I'll be dead by daylight.
[fade to end]
Otherwise...
I'll be Dead by Daylight.
[end]
