I Knew the Day Would Come
The first transmission from Scarred By Sunrise.
Story Behind the Song
Set in a near-future Los Angeles where rock music has been outlawed, "I Knew the Day Would Come" is a hard-driving arena rock anthem that marks the beginning of the resistance. Broadcasting from the shadows of Outpost 7, the band sends a message to anyone still listening: the signal is alive, and rock and roll refuses to die.
Produced across a two-month cycle of live tracking, analog processing, and AI-assisted arrangement passes under full human creative direction.
Lyrics
She missed the midnight train to the present Always chasing seconds she could never save Trusted a compass built by the damned The needle swung south when home was north Who knows — does anybody really know? Can we pass it down before it goes? We watch the night always bend toward the sun I knew the day would come The streetlights never came on this time Shadows moving in the corner of her mind The road keeps adding years to the night Till the truth feels too heavy to outdrive Who knows — does anybody really know? Can we pass it down before it goes? We watch the night always bend toward the sun I knew the day would come I knew the day would come Sometimes later's better than the start I knew the day would come The last rider's usually the one She thought the waiting was the ending Turns out it was just the cost Every road she didn't take Is exactly why she's lost I knew the day would come Sometimes later's better than the start I knew the day would come The last rider's usually the one
