Alesana_in her tomb by sounding sea

So I'm thinking we should maybe
just run away from here
with no plan of coming back.
we can stay away forever
our anguished love will be all we have and

i will save your life
its happening again,
its happening again
i wont watch you die
its happening again,
its happening again

i can see its not the first time
you have come and taken her from me
Rest assured it's not the last time,
I'm going to set you free.

you took her once
shame on you...oh
you took her twice
shame on me

whisper softly
and tell me that you love me
I'm losing you,
i dont know what to do
please forgive me
and know that i am sorry
I'm losing you,
i dont know what to do

Trapped inside a memory.
(save you)
im falling apart

do you realize its over
theres no chance of leaving here alive
You don't realize what you're saying,
without me you can't survive.

you took her once
shame on you...oh
you took her twice
shame on me

whisper softly
and tell me that you love me
I'm losing you,
i dont know what to do
please forgive me
and know that i am sorry
I'm losing you,
i dont know what to do

Trapped inside a memory,
(save you)
ive lost it all
im falling apart

you've ripped out my heart.
(im falling apart)
i dont know where to start

i dont want to go
its happening again,
its happening again
but i cant let it show
ill be with her again,
together to the end
if i have to go
its happening again,
its happening again
ill be damned if im alone
ill be with her again
together til the end.

whisper softly
and tell me that you love me
I'm losing you,
i dont know what to do
please forgive me
and know that i am sorry
I'm losing you,
i dont know what to do

Trapped inside a memory,
(save you)
im falling apart
ive lost it all

Alesana_hymn for the shameless

Saw your eyes today in a memory painted in the sky.
You smiled and said to me, “a love like this can never truly die.”

So now the show’s over and I’ve got to disguise the thing I’ve become.
I only wish I could stop laughing!
I grin because the joke is on them this time!
They don’t have a clue.

Calm consumes me.

I immerse myself in sick reflection…
I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure strangles me.
I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain and fantasy.
Oh, the visions inside my head…
The emptiness will haunt you…
Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now.
I’m standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed.
Oh, what little regret I have…
Does that make me a killer?

I am the face of death standing right behind you.
Yet you’re oblivious to my cold breath on your neck.
Is it just too easy?
Am I just too good at this?
I am the chosen one.
I am the end of all and now you are mine!

Calm consumes me.

I immerse myself in sick reflection…
I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure strangles me.
I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain and fantasy.
Oh, the visions inside my head…
The emptiness will haunt you…
Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now.
I’m standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed.
Oh, what little regret I have…
Does that make me a killer?

Saw your eyes today in a memory painted in the sky.
You smiled and said to me, “a love like this can never truly die.”

Let’s just say you’re right and the nightmare ends, we wake up side by side.
What makes you think that I would let you live?
I’ve really lost my mind…

Behold, for I am the will of the reaper!
Beg for the mercy of your worthless angels!

As relief washed over me,

Calm consumes me.

I immerse myself in sick reflection…
I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure strangles me.
I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain and fantasy.
Oh, the visions inside my head…
The emptiness will haunt you…
Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now.
I’m standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed.
Oh, what little regret I have…
Does that make me a killer? 2x

ALesana_heavy hang the alabator

I've made up my mind and I will be leaving.
Leaving this cruel, dark world for the soulless to share.
But first...

Women will shriek
and watch their husbands bleed.
Children will cry (Children will cry)
and watch their mothers die.
Because tonight...( Because tonight...)
Tonight we all go to hell!
Why?

I have to let go
of what happened to my love.
I am taking out on everyone else
all the problems I've brought on myself.
When I made your heart melt.
My belle, we soon will meet again.

There's nothing left for me to lose except confusion.
I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away.
There's no one left to talk me down.
My feet are slipping...

One day I hope my name
doesn't bring back memories.
Of the day that I left her.
Goodbye, so long.
My heart belongs to the one
I am chasing after.
For better, or even for worse, remember me forever...

Now the only question left is how to take you all down with me.
The coroner will have his hands full tonight.
That is if he is not among the dead.

Dead will choke the streets
with such vulgarity that
grown men will weep.
And then you will find
the end is drawing night.

There's nothing left for me to lose except confusion.

I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away.
There's no one left to talk me down.
My feet are slipping...

One day I hope my name
doesn't bring back memories.
Of the day that I left her.
Goodbye, so long.
My heart belongs to the one

I am chasing after.
For better, or even for worse, remember me forever...

The dizziness stuns me,
would someone please distract me?
Can I really get through this?
Can I really betray myself?

There's sweat on my hands
and a knife at my throat.
And as the blade bites my skin
Annabel appears...

One day I hope my name
doesn't bring back memories.
Of the day that I left her.
Goodbye, so long.
My heart belongs to the one
I am chasing after.
For better, or even for worse, remember me forever...

Alesana_goodby, goodnight, for good

Help me to sleep...
Jealousy rears its ugly head
I won't forget the things you said before you turned your back
Goodbye, goodnight, for good...remember my face when you feel the pain
Say goodbye...

Now I'll fight with my eyes closed for the things I've let go
Sweet breath escapes...choke on the lies that were your last goodbye
Hear my voice as you sleep...
Sleep tight, goodnight...choke on the lies that were your last goodbye

Goodbye helps me to sleep without your memories
And my shattered dreams collect dust on what used to be a lie
It haunts me no more and now you're gone, you've left me alone
I wasn't wrong to feel this way inside so goodbye, goodnight, for good

Now I'll fight with my eyes closed for the things I've let go
Sweet breath escapes...choke on the lies that were your last goodbye
Hear my voice as you sleep...
Sleep tight, goodnight...choke on the lies that were your last...

I find pleasure in the taste of your decay
I anxiously watch you fade away

I can't explain what's happening inside of me
I refuse to fight you anymore
All I know is I have to make sure...make sure you never wake up again

Soft flesh gives way to trembling hand...

beautiful eyes are sewn shut
searing thread suffocates the light... 2x

aLesana_better luck next time, princes charming

Shadows dance around me as I race alone
I will never rest until she's in my arms
So close and yet so far away...
A simple kiss to bring her back, to make this story end

Not all knights in shining armor can make your dreams come true
He's not quite as charming as he may seem
Come and claim your queen!

Come and claim your queen!

Come and claim your queen!

Come and claim your queen!

The wild beasts are ravenous, they will soon devour you
Dark howls echo bitter cries but they fall upon deaf ears

Not all knights in shining armor can make your dreams come true
He's not quite as charming as he may seem
Come and claim your queen!

You're pathetic! What good do you do?!?
She had faith in me, I was her only escape
A most deep and subtle poison welcomes her unblinking eyes to eternal sleep
If I had shown, she would be mine
Who is the fairest of all? Tell me again! Tell me again! You know its me!
A simple kiss to bring her back, to make this story end

Not all knights in shining armor can make your dreams come true
He's not quite as charming as he may seem
We'll make all your dreams come true

We'll make all your dreams come true

come and claim your queen!

Alesana_Beautiful in blue

silence screams, "you’re just so beautiful in blue"

breathless stares escape your undying eyes

are you blind to my sorrow and sympathy?

a piece of me will die with your last breath…

this will all be over soon for you are so lost inside

glazed eyes long for the waves’ embrace

drawn to an end so near…

far away are days when you smiled just to hear my voice

why are you trying to run away?

my love, I can’t find the words to tell you…

drown all of your fantasies with your final broken promise

silent angel crashes through sky, having lost sight of the stars

regail me with your tales of lonely, bittersweet loss

giving up comes to easy when hope is gone

I’ll walk away so you can choke on your dying breath

but if you side against me, to hell with you…

far away are days when you smiled just to hear my voice

why are you trying to run away?

my love, I can’t find the words to tell you…

the fear has stolen her heart as she wakes from her dream

treacherous ink finds her lungs, seizing her screams

numb hands now reach too late to take back the light

far away are days when you smiled just to hear my voice

why are you trying to run away?

my love, I can’t find the words to tell you…

far away are days when you smiled…

seas cry out butchering this tragic soul without hope

their frailty is broken and now fades into the blue…

Alesana_As You Wish

Life is meaningless without you
Love can be such a beautiful torture
My heart breaks as I long for you
Love can be such lovely torture

I will climb the hills, draw my sword and take down
Anyone who tries to stand in front of me
Please know I'll never run away without you in my arms
One day lovers will dream of this undying kiss
Not of Romeo or Juliet
Stories told of our love will never die

I've slain the most unholy things, endured such terrific pain
Finally I'll feel your caress again
I've braved the cold and lonely seas, I have prevailed against the odds
Then again...

I will climb the hills, draw my sword and take down
Anyone who tries to stand in front of me
Please know I'll never run away without you in my arms
One day lovers will dream of this undying kiss
Not of Romeo or Juliet
Stories told our love will never die

Will you forgive what I've done to give you four white horses?

One day lovers will dream of this undying kiss
Not of Romeo or Juliet
Stories told our love will never die

ALESANA _ Apology

Sweat drips in my eyes
Screams of lust we cry
Tonight you are everything

YOU'RE EVERYTHING
YOU'RE EVERYTHING TO ME
NO MORE AS I WAKE
FROM THIS PERFECT DREAM  (I'LL ESCAPE)
FROM EDEN'S WALLS
I CAN NOT STAY (AND)
LIVE THIS LIE
FOR I NOW
MUST THINK ONLY OF MYSELF

And to think that you will not be scared
OR SURPRISED I SEVERED
ALL THESE TIES
THIS IS THE END

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
I FEEL SO NUMB
TO SEE THIS BITTER END
IT HAS COME TO THIS
(END OF) BEAUTIFUL ILLUSIONS
ONE LAST KISS
BRO-KEN PIE-CES WILL NOT
SAVE OUR PAST NOW

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you

NOW WE MUST LET GO (WE MUST LET GO)
URGENCY OVERWHELMS ME AS
I MUST RESTRAIN
MY FLOOD OF TEARS

I REFUSE TO BE
SLAVE TO YOUR FALSE BEAUTY
AGAIN

I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you

IN MY MIND
Blood drips from your eyes
A BEAUTIFUL
Last goodbye

Alesana_Annabel

How does the dagger feel now when you're on the receiving end?

If this is what you call betrayal.

Then this is what I call revenge.

How could I be so blind?

I guess I fell in love too quickly.

But I'm fine.

Imagine where you'd be now if you only knew.

The one you love is the one who's killing you. (I trusted you too much.)

                  

I know now that I should have kept my eyes wide open.

The first time that we kissed. I'll bury you for this.

 

(Just say to me that this time is the last time.

And I'll pretend that somehow I know we'll be fine.)

Years spent watching in silence as your illness spilled onto page.

Those were the last days I spend with you.

Before you left, before he came.

How could I be so blind?

I guess I fell in love too quickly...

But I'm fine.

Imagine where you'd be now if you only knew.

The one you love is the one who's killing you. (I trusted you too much.)

                   

I know now that I should have kept my eyes wide open.

The first time that we kissed. I'll bury you for this.

(Just say to me that this time is the last time.

And I'll pretend that somehow I know we'll be fine.)

It is my fault?

You fell into that illusion you've been living discretely.

Should I blame you in the end?

Did you ever think the sketches would take over completely?

Die!

Just die!

You are scum! You are filth!

Choke on blood as your knife ends the show! Writhe in pain you thought you'd

never know!

I don't think they dig graves close enough to hell for the likes of you!                                  

I don't think they dig graves close enough to hell for the likes of you!

I handed you a knife and my heart, woah oh

I handed you a knife and my heart, woah oh

and now the dream is over....

and now the dream is over....

I handed you a knife and my heart, woah oh

I handed you a knife and my heart, woah oh

and now the dream is over....

and now the dream is over....

How could I be so blind?

I guess I fell in love too quickly..

But I'm fine.

Imagine where you'd be now if you only knew.

The one you love is the one who's killing you. (I trusted you too much.)

                

I know now that I should have kept my eyes wide open.

The first time that we kissed. I'll bury you for this.

I handed you a knife and my heart, woah oh

I handed you a knife and my heart, woah oh

and now the dream is over....

and now the dream is over....

I handed you a knife and my heart, woah oh

I handed you a knife and my heart, woah oh

and now the dream is over....

and now the dream is over....

Alesana_Ambrosia

A touch of poison seals my fate
The dawn echoes the night with my glory...

the sun himself honors me

Once king of roses, now lord of gold
The Gods themselves envy my hand
Blessed with the gift of gilded touch
Fate wields it's knife to cut the thread

I curse the day my dream became my descent
Suddenly I long for you, my only love

In my perfection I have no want
Yet eyes still glint with greed untold
A folly as fatal as sin has now become the end of me

I curse the day my dream became my descent
Suddenly I long for you, my only love

Have I not earned this, the gift of beauty within?
How selfish were the Gods to keep their riches from my rightful treasure?
I truly have become one of them...my fatal flaw

Oh yeah! Ive got her hook, line, and sinker!
Thanks to me, she's her own new necklace!
Now she's good as gold!

I curse the day my dream became my descent
Suddenly I long for you, my only love

I curse the day my dream became my descent
Suddenly I long for you, my only love

...cut the thread...

ALESANA "A Most Profound Quiet

We should go ahead and kill her right now
But her eyes are so lovely 
I can't wait! Just imagine how she will suffer!
Would someone please tell me I'm not alright
How could you fall for my charming charade?

Days fade away but guilt still burns inside of me
I feel as if I am responsible
Why can't I realize just how the pieces seem to fit? 
I feel as if I am responsible 

Does she know before I met her I have only dreamt of so much blood?
So why is she tempting me?
Can you see the visions of pain?
How could I? Is that possible? 
You must give her to me!
I'm tired of washing my hands clean of what I've done
'Tis to a murderer's den you have come

Days fade away but guilt still burns inside of me
I feel as if I am responsible
Why can't I realize just how the pieces seem to fit? 
I feel as if I am responsible 

Something in this empty room is telling me that I should run! 
Its time we throw away the mask
What have we done? 
We got too attached!
We can't let her escape!
We let her escape!
This is the last time we ever have to speak again!
She is no longer yours!
We can't let her escape!
She's all mine! 

Days fade away but guilt still burns inside of me
I feel as if I am responsible
Why can't I realize just how the pieces seem to fit? 
I feel as if I am responsible

Does she know before I met her I had only dreamt of so much blood?
So why is she tempting me?

ALESANA "Alchemy Sounded Good At The Time"

 [spoken:]
this the oldest story in the book... he desires the one thing he cannot have...

my darling queen, I lay myself at your feet
and I shall stay the hands of fate

wind cries out, heavens boil above voicing discontent to my sins
I have found the way to trick the ferryman
I have deceived the ancient Gods

cold flesh lends to me its secrets... 
(each day brings me closer to you...)
...for a price too high
(...my tragic victory)
I shudder at what I have done

darling queen I lay at your feet...
chills take me as she wakes, throat gasps tainted breath
I've reclaimed you my stolen bride
can your soul forgive my crimes of passion?
I would not close the casket; I'm so consumed by your pain
faint screams echo through the night...

cold flesh lends to me its secrets... 
(each day brings me closer to you...)
...for a price too high
(...my tragic victory)
I shudder at what I have done

the pains of death can no longer haunt you
as the dawning sky brings forth one forsaken thought
death can not win for I now dwell in the palace of decay
and I shall stay the hands of fate

night descends, sinews twitch
my pale queen finally stands to taste silent lips now cursed with her love

cold flesh lends to me its secrets... 
(each day brings me closer to you...)
...for a price too high
(...my tragic victory)
[x2]

I shudder at what I have done
