Dayseeker - Never See The Sun Rise Lyrics






Not meant to be a father on this day
I'm not a bad man, yet cruel fate has ripped my daughter away
Not much for praying but I'm on my knees pleading for answers to this senseless passing
Why would someone think the best time to die is before they have the chance to open their eyes?
Don't say another word to comfort me, I'm not okay and I don't need blind faith

The more I'm trying to let go, the more that it's killing me
Why am I burying my child when I'm wishing it was me in that grave
I should not be burdened with this pain, it's not fair to us, I'm giving up
Oh I died inside when I knew she'll never see the sun rise

My daughter will never see the sun rise
Taken away before she had the chance to open her eyes
This is not god working in mysterious ways,
This is the work of a coward who's either dead or won't show his face

I let that cold wave cover me
What's the point in gasping for air when I don't even want to breathe?
Time will not heal these wounds, I'll grow old and she'll still be fast asleep
What am I supposed to do now?
How am I expected to understand when I'm still reaching for those little hands to let me know
That this is just a bad dream and she'll be there when I wake up

She'll never see the sun rise, no she won't
I know that you're at peace but I won't look for you in the clouds
I'll keep you in my heart 'til the sun burns out

Dayseeker Never See The Sun Rise Comments
  1. G.... D....

    Fuck, this hits hard as a soon to be father. I can't imagine the pain or suffering one has to endure

  2. j.... ....

    4 years and this is still the most emotional metal song I've ever listened to

  3. k.... ....

    "I let that cold wave cover me. What's the point in gasping for air, when I don't even want to breathe."

  4. m.... s....

    The guitar riff in the beginning never gets old

  5. J.... D....

    Today marks six months since the Doctor set us down and said, “your baby has no heartbeat.” My world has been turned upside down since then. I’m getting back on track. I’m working through my anger trying to strengthen my relationship with God, and holding on to the hope that I see my Rilla Louise again one day.

    This song has helped me work through some of my rage, confusion bewilderment, in a way that no other work of art has.


    “I’ll keep Rilla in my heart till the sun burns out.”

  6. C.... S....

    Very sad song but so beautifully written. Any parent feels this deeply.

  7. A.... ....

    3:35 - 3:45 is just musical genius. The music builds as he sings "that this is just a bad dream, and she'll be there when I wake up", and then it turns and breaks down as he realizes it's real - or rather as I visualize it in my head, as he wakes up from a dream where his daughter is alive into reality where she's dead.

    I wish I was an artist because I can perfectly visualize a great animation for that segment.

  8. C.... S....

    A friend of mines daughter just passed at a month old. Debating on sending to this to him.

  9. C.... D....

    I probably listen to this song everyday. I thought no one understood..

  10. C.... E....

    This song always hits me hard, for I have lost a daughter only 18 days old

  11. C.... D....

    This song really helped me with the loss of my son. 'I'll keep you in my heart til the sun burns out.' R.I.P Ares Noah Henson.

  12. B.... W....

    I lost my son 6 years ago..found this song couple years ago and its perfect.. jamm it all the time he says what i can't put in words

  13. m.... s....

    Gotta get myself another t shirt of that album cover. Years later and that guitar riff is still killer

  14. F.... F....

    So sad 😞

  15. C.... R....

    immediate chills and goose bumps

  16. A.... ....

    And I got this song from Jarrod's Misheard Lyrics. Like if you did too.

  17. A.... ....

    This song gave me some deeper meanings to my life.

  18. P.... ....

    "What's the point in gasping for air when I don't even want to breathe?"

    This is some fucked up shit fam

  19. V.... S....

    So many feels right now

  20. D.... C....

    Sorry guys about my ignorance: the singer reminds me to Southern Lights, band that does not exist anymore. Is he singing in Dayseeker now?

  21. D.... I....

    12 people have aids

  22. G.... K....

    So pretty 😍

  23. B.... B....

    Those people who say Metal is emotionless screaming bloody murder, they need to hear this song...how in the world can someone say metal has no emotion...this has more emotion than a frickin adele song or any other pop junk there is...this is real...come straight from the heart...love this band...keep it up guys.

  24. S.... K....

    came from Brian Watkins <3

    S.... K....

  25. I.... H....

    Well I just got punched in the face by the feels

  26. E.... G....

    This gave me goosebumps omg

  27. L.... S....

    I'm just now getting into this band and holy shit, this made me have chills and tears and I love this.

  28. a.... s....

    Thats hurts men !!!

  29. G.... F....

    I can't help but to wonder if one of the members lost a child because I can really feel the agony in the instruments and lyrics

  30. H.... D....

    GREAT FUCKING SONG... although i feel for the father :c

  31. r.... b....

    I never thought I'd find a band that can give me intense emotional whiplash. I found this band my freshman year and they've been on my "Never delete" list. I'm excited for the future music from you guys. I watched a interview hoping to grasp where the inspiration comes from when it comes to your song writing. You said people were coming to you about things and one was miscarriage and losing a child so you wanted to try and integrate and understand it when it came down to it. Whether you've had this happen personally or not; when I listen to this song it almost brings me to tears for how passionate it is.

  32. �.... �....

    What the hell was that? I just scrolling YouTube for some videos…

    Actually, I've heard something about Dayseeker before but just today I have listened for this song. And I never thought I can cry while listening the song that doesn't connect with my memories. I guess I was wrong, that's was a severe pain even through the mic, mixing console, Internet space and my headphones. Unfortunately, English is not my native language, so what's hard to me to understand all the lyrics without reading them but then I suddenly started to cry. That's like a vocalist is a lyric hero of this song, but anyways, that's amazing and unimaginable sorrowful.

  33. A.... C....

    This song really made me cry, it's not fun to watch a parent bury their child. That's not how it's supposed to be. Chin up dad, I miss her too.

  34. Y.... V....

    This song is so goddamn amazing

  35. G.... L....

    This whole album is dope

  36. N.... ....

    I listen to a lot of emotional music...i love it...but this song hit me in a way very few songs do...it really put me in the shoes of the father in the song. it made me feel a fraction of the pain a parent would actually feel in this situation. I could visualize myself in that situation...how I would feel. When Rory sang the line "how am I supposed to understand when i'm still reaching for those little hands" i broke down and cried. It's almost unbearable to even imagine let alone experience. My heart was completely flooded with compassion and saddness. This album will be one of those albums I cherish for many years...it's a really special piece of work.

  37. a.... ....

    damn thats one good fucking song. so many feels. keep it up.

  38. K.... S....

    I never got to meet one of my children, story too hard to talk about but once again, another song hitting close to home.

    K.... S....

    Kristin Spicer :(

  39. J.... K....

    2:42 is just........amazing. It's so powerful and just gives me chills

  40. C.... ....

    My favorite song off the album hands down

  41. C.... ....

    So good but so sad.

  42. V.... W....

    I'm still kinda surprised no one's covered any of this albums songs on guitar lol

    V.... W....

    It's hard to find their tabs lol

  43. n.... l....

    my mum had like 5 miscarriages...and because of the first one of them, that's why im here. sometimes it makes me feel useless, like i was just a replacement. but then i remember my youngest brother, how there were 2 miscarriages before him and one after, and he might have had a twin. this song...SO MANY FEELS.

  44. D.... N....

    I couldn't even imagine the pain this man is going through that made him lose his faith in God. Losing a precious child is the last thing I would ever want to experience.

  45. J.... G....

    there's really only one word to sum this up:  WOW...this entire album is unbelievable and to cap it off with this song...just unbelievable, I truly hope this album receives the recognition it deserves

  46. S.... W....

    NOISY SHITE

  47. j.... h....

    First time I heard this I instantly chocked up and broke down. I couldn't even imagine losing a child like such

  48. b.... x....

    Jesus I love this u.u

  49. B.... T....

    ... Wow.... ❤

  50. e.... m....

    It's so deep so amazing

  51. S.... K....

    Amazing

  52. C.... S....

    Holy fuck. Anyone else get chills from this song?

  53. J.... T....

    Beautiful song. Coming from a father. I love this song guys. Keep up the beautiful music.

  54. S.... V....

    wauw, the feels are real!!!

    any parent that hears this will feel it  go right true the hart

  55. _.... M....

    Anyone else's heart sink when he says "How am I expected to understand, when I'm still reaching for those little hands?"? It makes me real sad.

  56. N.... S....

    I don't understand how they can play such sad lyrics live without breaking down, holy shit. It's unfortunate yet beautiful but damn.

    N.... S....

    I know right was having this conversation with my cousin yesterday haha

    N.... S....

    +Nick Smithers You should listen to White Light by The Ghost Inside if you haven't heard it before. Almost as powerful as this one.

    N.... S....

    Intake by volumes was also very heartfelt

    N.... S....

    That one makes me break down everytime, its about the lead singer's brother passing away. Shit's an amazing song but the meaning behind it all, gives me chills just thinking about it right now and I haven't listened to it in almost 2 years

  57. H.... H....

    I can only imagine this being turned into an acoustic song. The feels will be real...

    H.... H....

    @getthefunkoutmaface fuckin today???

    H.... H....

    That's what they said! If I could share the screenshot of the tweets with you on YouTube I would. But turns out, they didn't release any news on it at all. If you want proof you can go on their twitter (@dayseekerband) and read their reply to me (@muchachoflavio).

    H.... H....

    yeah, they didn't :(

    H.... H....

    They released a new song and Origin Reimagined comes out April 22nd!

    H.... H....

    I think the screaming actually captures the emotions you'd feel better than soft vocals all throughout would

  58. g.... ....

    Love this <3 so relatable too

  59. p.... ....

    Holy shit that was good

    p.... ....

    Dear Roxas picture of saturarion

  60. P.... T....

    This album is fantastic!

  61. D.... D....

    This album man. I don't think anything else could top this album this year. The new BAAO album should be good, but this just seems unbeatable. I'm speechless.

    D.... D....

    @Devon Davenport Oh God, a new BAAO Album? I have been blessed with this news.

  62. M.... ....

    I'd love to know the story behind some of the lyrics they rate. Such an amazing band

    M.... ....

    @MonsterMusicCovers They cover so much in this album. Suicide, parental issues, relationship issues, etc. I think they are writing all different songs to try and connect to everyone, no matter what their problem is.

    M.... ....

    @Nicknackems94 I meant to type write. Damn auto correct :| But so many of their songs have been so relatable. They punch, twist, shoot, and stomp on my feels. Such an amazing band

    M.... ....

    @MonsterMusicCovers I know! Rory's voice just has an immediate path to my feels button.

    M.... ....

    @MonsterMusicCovers this is about someone they know

    M.... ....

    Yeah rory noramlly writes about experience he or people he knows has had... Being a father my self this song hits that feels button hard. I couldn't imgine this

  63. I.... ....

    Best song of the album!!
