When the Sun Sleeps
Underoath · Anthology 1999-2013 [2012]
the romance has been dead (the romance is dead, the romance is dead)
for years (you come back)
but i've been too afraid to dig the grave (so i prayed)
relief support never came
memories carry me through the day
of when we were kids
and angels came to watch us play
close my eyes, just for tonight
the sun still sleeps, and when she wakes
close my eyes, just for tonight
the sun still sleeps, and when she wakes
a movie that plays in my mind
remembring you helps me survive
every day a re-run of the next
i promised to stay by your side
that all would change, i can't complain
another victim of the game
close my eyes, just for tonight
the sun still sleeps, and when she wakes
close my eyes, just for tonight
the sun still sleeps, and when she wakes
maybe love will find us again
for there is always tomorrow
sincerely till the end
close my eyes just for tonight
the sun still sleeps and when she wakes,
close my eyes just for tonight
the sun still sleeps and when she wakes
close my eyes, just for tonight
the sun still sleeps, and when she wakes
close my eyes, just for tonight
the sun still sleeps, and when she wakes
you'll be a memory (be a memory)
you'll be a memory (be a memory)
you'll be a memory (be a memory)
you'll be a memory, memory, memory, memory.
When the Sun Sleeps
Released on Underoath's 2012 compilation Anthology 1999-2013, 'When the Sun Sleeps' exemplifies the band's signature blend of melodic metalcore and alternative rock. The track features the group's characteristic vocal delivery, alternating between clean, emotive singing and aggressive distortion, set against a backdrop of driving rhythms and atmospheric guitar work. As a staple of their discography, the song captures the emotional intensity and dynamic range that defined Underoath's evolution during the late 2000s and early 2010s. It serves as a testament to their ability to merge technical proficiency with raw, personal songwriting, resonating deeply with fans of the genre who appreciate both the heaviness and the melodic hooks found in their catalog.
