Alesana - Daggers Speak Louder Than Words Lyrics

eyes open to splattered blood

cold tile mocks me as I arise to find the knife is still in my back

shifting thoughts now slow with venom

take me as I stagger…is this all we were worth?

I’ve lost you for good without regret

your once gentle words are bleeding from my eyes

screams of terror now fill my every breath

I know you’ll rue the day you ever met me

I’ll lay you down to sleep when sorrow will bury the blade hilt deep

you know I would have died for you

now I’m forced to choose between a life of revenge or regret

as I thirst for vengeance, my heart struggles to come to grips

why would you leave me to die, turn, and walk away?

alone, you stood so still as you watched me break

did it now kill you too? what has led you to the dagger my friend

you know I would have died for you

now I’m forced to choose between a life of revenge or regret

as I thirst for vengeance, my heart struggles to come to grips

why would you leave me to die, turn, and walk away?

my revenge is made so clear midst cold tears left with the betrayed

I’ll see that you never forget this

I will hunt you down like a dog

lies could never disguise what I saw behind me in you

remembering times we have shared…my friend for life is gone

we’ll let the embers serve as the only memory of last days, so long ago

why would you leave me to die, turn, and walk away?

why would you leave me to die after you had buried the dagger hilt deep?

…you’re dead to me…

I would have died for you

now I’m forced to choose between a life of revenge or regret

as I thirst for vengeance, my heart struggles to come to grips

why would you leave me to die, turn, and walk away?

…you’re dead to me…

Alesana - What Goes Around...Comes Around Lyrics

Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?

You know I gave you the world

You had me in the palm of your hand

So why your love went away

I just can't seem to understand

Thought it was me and you babe

Me and you until the end

But I guess I was wrong

Don't want to talk about it

Don't want to think about it

I'm just so sick about it

Can't believe it's ending this way

Just so confused about it

Feeling the blues about it

I just can't do without ya

Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it's really going down?

Is this how we say goodbye?

Should've known better when you came around

That you were gonna make me cry

It's breaking my heart to watch you run around

'Cause I know that you're living a lie

That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find...

What goes around, goes around, goes around

Comes all the way back around

What goes around, goes around, goes around

Comes all the way back around

Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed

You said that you were moving on now

And maybe I should do the same

Funny thing about that is

I was ready to give you my name

Thought it was me and you, babe

And now, it's all just a shame

And I guess I was wrong

Don't want to talk about it

Don't want to think about it

I'm just so sick about it

Can't believe it's ending this way

Just so confused about it

Feeling the blues about it

I just can't do without ya

Can you tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it's really going down?

Is this how we say goodbye?

Should've known better when you came around

That you were going to make me cry

Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around

'Cause I know that you're living a lie

That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around

Comes all the way back around

What goes around, goes around, goes around

Comes all the way back around

And now you want somebody

To cure the lonely nights

You wish you had somebody

That could come and make it right

But girl I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy

You'll see

(What goes around comes back around)

(What goes around comes back around)

(What goes around comes back around)

(What goes around comes back around)

You spend your nights alone

And he never comes home

And every time you call him

All you get's a busy tone

I heard you found out

That he's doing to you

What you did to me

Ain't that the way it goes

When you cheated girl

My heart bleeded girl

So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt

Just a classic case

A scenario

Tale as old as time

Girl you got what you deserved

I thought I told you, baby

(What goes around comes back around)

I thought I told you, baby

(What goes around comes back around)

I thought I told you, baby

(What goes around comes back around)

I thought I told you, baby

Alesana - To Be Scared By An Owl Lyrics

Look at the sky

As the night descends

The rain is crashing down

I've hit another dead end

Just before I let hopes slip away

A shadow is revealed, The devil shows his face

I'm scared to death and have myself to blame

(I'm to blame)

How did we end up fighting anyway?

You know I used to search the sky

And dream of where you were

I need you by my side

We can end this together

I know I promised you the world

But still I let you down

I need you by my side and together we'll end this now

Look in my eyes am I shaking now?

I am all you fear, have I made myself clear?

Shut your mouth and finish what you started

Boy you haven't got the slightest idea

Just who I am and what I did for you

Can't you see that I'm trying to save you?

Shut your mouth and finish what you started

I'm scared to death and have myself to blame

No one else

How did we end up fighting anyway?

You know I used to search the sky

And dream of where you were

I need you by my side

We can end this together

I know I promised you the world

But still I let you down

I need you by my side and together we'll end this now

[Speaking:]

As the last ray's of sunlight fade

One killer chases another

Through the frantic madness of the city

A clash of steel announces the presence of it's quarry

The stage is set, the night explodes

You killed her, you murderer

You have stripped me of the one that I love

Anabell, our Anabell!

Murderer, you murdered her

You have no clue what she's capable of.

I'm scared to death and have myself to blame

(I'm scared to death and have myself to blame)

How did we end up fighting anyway?

You know I used to search the sky

And dream of where you were

I need you by my side

We can end this together

I know I promised you the world

But still I let you down

I need you by my side and together we'll end this now

You better look behind you!

Alesana - Tilting The Hourglass Lyrics

You take my breathe away...

but I'll never taste your lips

as fate keeps me locked away

I must close my eyes to see your face

emptiness has darkened my eyes

as I hopelessly beg for my life to end

...tell me why...

my iron eyes tell the tale

heroes always pay in their blood

I can be only this

I see the fear growing in their lost eyes

my purpose is so clear...I am the ax

I am the ax and this is why I must not fear the end

and when I'm gone will you forget me?

pen wears its steady course across the page

resigned to it's designs to take the hive

emptiness has darkened my eyes

as I hopelessly beg for my life to end

...tell me why...

I wish I could make you see, I wish I could make you see through the pain

through the end, I wish I could make you see the greater purpose that I have to serve...

no one else will fight...no-one else will fight...so I must

my iron eyes tell the tale

heroes always pay in their blood

I can be only this

...I am the ax...

fear has been lost to faith

the darkened night has come before the end

of which we must prevail

amidst the pitch of steel we shall arise

I will destroy all those who oppose me

my iron eyes tell the tale

heroes always pay in their blood

I can be only this

I see the fear growing in there...

Alesana -The Uninvited Thirteenth Lyrics

You should have known better than to insult me

That won't happen again...

Sleep, I'll pretend that you died

And as you rest may your youth be stripped away from you

Sleep my precious, the darling Rosamond

May nightmares lay with you...revenge is mine!

There must be something everyone has missed

The end is drawing near, its everything I feared

I'm starting to wonder will this haunt me?

In spite of doubt I have to break the spell

A lovely day to be tortured by dreams of you

Now as she wakes I'll finally look in her eyes...my brilliant prize

Please know you'll never again be alone for I'm with you

Her sweet lips, oh so fair, to awake is now everything I crave

Time's catching up with me

I've come this far, there's no turning back

My sword is drawn, the only choice I have is to fight

Nothing can stop me now but myself

I will break the spell

Save me! Help me! Someone!

Anyone, please, can you hear me?!?

My eyes! Will I ever see light of day again? Never...

Now as she wakes I'll finally look i her eyes...my brilliant prize

Please know you'll never again be alone for I'm with you

You'll never get away! You'll never get away!

You'll wish you both had died! He will not break the spell!

A lovely day to be tortured by dreams of you

My princess, into the thorns I shall dive

Now as she wakes I'll finally look in her eyes...my brilliant prize

Please know you'll never again be alone for I'm with you

My sweet princess finally awake!

Alesana - The Murderer Lyrics

Is it about time?

Oh yes it is, it really is!

Let's get this party started!

My hands are shaking...

Just take a drink,

steady your nerves.

Let's get this party started!

Are you ready to run?

I've been waiting patiently for this...

Are you ready to run?

I've been waiting patiently for this...

Are you ready to run?

I've been waiting patiently for this...

Are You ready to Die?

Cause lately it seems I'm going insane!

Please don't get up!

Oh no, you're fine right there!

Just don't mind me as I take you all in!

So drink 'em up, oh yes just slam 'em down!

Have one on me as I lock you all in!

my little sheep your wolf has come...

You should know I'm dangerous.

My thirst for blood turns me on...

How sweet...

Is this what we pictured

the night that we said, "you're the one"?

I'm going crazy without you,

It's hard to believe but I'm having fun.

Annabel, look what you've started!

The knife slides down to the tip of my tongue.

I'm finding pleasure in watching you writhe.

I lean in just to lick the sweat off your face.

I taste the reverence dripping down my throat.

You should know I'm dangerous.

My thirst for blood turns me on...

How sweet...

Is this what we pictured

the night that we said, "you're the one"?

I'm going crazy without you,

It's hard to believe but I'm having fun.

Annabel, look what you've started!

Are you ready to run?

I've been waiting patiently for this...

Are you ready to run?

I've been waiting patiently for this...

Are you ready to run?

I've been waiting patiently for this...

Are You ready to Die?

There is definitely something wrong!

Will they scream?

Will they cry?

Will they beg as they die

or have to accept that this is the end?

Are you ready to die?

Are you ready to die?!

I'm so glad that all of you came!

Looking in I see a lonely man etching tallies into the bar.

Looking on I see a desperate man repeating something on the floor.

Oh how blood turns me on...

So sweet....

Alesena - The Thespian Lyrics

(Baby) why are you doing this to me

(Sweetheart) Are those your eyes staring straight back at me

(Angel) I see your smile everywhere

(Darling, stop)

Night falls

and I'm running in circles, oh

I'm being chased

by my imagination, oh

Tell me I'm forgiven say

you'll always be mine

Say that everything is over,

tell me I'm fine

No one deserves to live like this! (x2)

I touch your lips

and stare in your eyes

You smile and it makes me fly

You are the reason my heart beats

Tonight it's just you and me

Night as dark as my thoughts

sets the scene for my return

Lightning nips at my heels

as I race home

Wearily I stagger

towards the song of her pale voice

Demons jeer my attempt to be free

Tell me I'm forgiven say

you'll always be mine

Say that everything is over,

tell me I'm fine

No one deserves to live like this! (x2)

I touch your lips

and stare in your eyes

You smile and it makes me fly

You are the reason my heart beats

Tonight it's just you and me

Windows cast her gentle reflection

Her somber silhouette dances for me

Dear God, it's her

Look at you, you miserable fool

Get off your knees,

your prayers fall upon deaf ears

Gods turned his back on you,

heavens gates are shut

And now you're knocking

on the devil's door

Ive been expecting you for some time, sir

Allow me to introduce myself

I'm the one who pulls on

all the strings, son

You're lucky I don't kill you

where you stand

Tonight I raise my glass

for I know its time to move on

(this can't be real. there's nothing left)

My patience will not last,

tomorrow I will be gone

(all hope has failed. Ive lost my soul)

Alesana - The Third Temptation Of Paris Lyrics

The horizon, now as dark as the crimes that brought them here,

is filled with my impending dread

my foolish actions will cost so many good men

Achilles has come...

a thousand sails approaching

sent here in her name to reclaim the one I stole

and destroy the walls of Troy

desire leaves me numb to all the pain surrounding me

storms will arise to condemn me

I will not die before her eyes...

it ends tonight

desire leaves me numb to all the pain surrounding me

storms will arise to condemn me

I will not die before her eyes...

it ends tonight

tragically I now must accept the penance I have earned

she is cursed and tonight we die

in the dawn of this, my end, I hold my sword true

I must let her go...

a thousand sails approaching

sent here in her name to reclaim the one I stole

and destroy the walls of Troy

desire leaves me numb to all the pain surrounding me

storms will arise to condemn me

I will not die before her eyes...

it ends tonight

it ends tonight, I am alone

pain fills her eyes, I am alone

I must save my honor, I cannot let them win, the blood of many spills

sacred and profane is our love in death...

Alesana - The Artist Lyrics

What is wrong with her eyes?

A glossy stare that won't leave me be starts my blood running cold

A gaze that could make hell freeze over

I have to understand she's gone...

But she's not!

Don't you tell me that she is dead!

Watch her lips softly move because she's still whispering to me!

And something here is not quite right...

Skin so cold beneath my touch as I brush back her hair and close her eyes

But I cannot stand to turn away

When I do, she'll be gone...

It's frightening...

Sweaty hands will fail to lock the door...

They'll be here soon

I wish I could keep my teeth from grinding

I wish I'd stop looking behind me

Running now will only make it worse...

They'll be here soon

I wish I could shake the awful feeling

I wish my mind would stop...

Maybe I am crazy and my mind is trying to deceive me

As the ground vanishes I wonder will the sky be the next to fail me?

Paint abandons canvas

And my brush can't seem to start again from scratch

As I watch everything unravel, why should I even try to stop the collapse?

I won't...

Shaking as I rest her body down

No one knows, only me

It's frightening...

There's a madman glaring straight at me!

Oh I know I've seen his face before...

I am sure I've seen his face before...

Alesana - Sweetheart, You Are Sadly Mistaken Lyrics

Mark my words this night is far from its end

Please spare me your threats and your useless remarks

Go ahead, I dare you!

Take one step closer to this gap baby! I'll show you what I mean!

I can't let fear get the best of me right now

Keep smiling and soon you will pay!

Close your eyes and let your mind escape into a world of dreams

I won't wake you

Close your eyes and keep them shut

The next part isn't going to be a very pretty sight

Forget about tonight, tomorrow will be here so soon

And we'll be busy singing, "The wicked witch is dead!"

Once upon a time seems so like a fairy tale, I guess

For us it's true

Who's laughing now?

Blood pours from her dry mouth as she begs for mercy

Oh, how she screams!

If you think you'll win my forgiveness

Awww, sweetheart, you're sadly mistaken!

You shouldn't have brought us! You shouldn't have hurt us!

You have not one clue what you've started but trust me

You'll know when I'm finished!

(Its time, baby!)

Close your eyes and let your mind escape into a world of dreams

I won't wake you

Close your eyes and keep them shut

The next part isn't going to be a very pretty sight

Forget about tonight, tomorrow will be here so soon

And we'll be busy singing, "The wicked witch is dead!"

Once upon a time seems so like a fairy tale, I guess

For us it's true

You'd better run faster than that

I know you're feeling scared but so am I

Don't you dare turn around...Hold on as tight as you can!

I know that you're afraid but so am I

There's no time for tears...run till you can't feel your legs!

Close your eyes...

Forget about tonight, tomorrow will be here so soon

And we'll be busy singing, "The wicked witch is dead!"

Once upon a time seems so like a fairy tale, I guess

For us it's true

Look who's laughing now!

Blood pours from her dry mouth as she begs for mercy

If you think you'll win my forgiveness

Awww. sweetheart, you're sadly mistaken!

(It's time, baby!)

Alesana - Red And Dying Evening Lyrics

you've taken the last of me

the god's of your innocence shall not protect you from the hate of my wrath

you've taken the last of me... blame the end on yourself

you deserve each tear that falls

scratch out your eyes

the blood will drown in red and I will leave you for dead

a lovely evening draped in regret

the shadow of justice now engulfs you

as cold hands reap the pain they've sewn

you've taken the last of me

blame the end on yourself

you deserve each tear that falls

scratch out your eyes

the blood will drown in red and I will leave you for dead

a lovely evening draped in regret

Forever gone

the taste of your death replaced the smell of your breath

a lovely evening draped in regret

suffocate your will to live with my pain

you were so easily seduced by greed

you could never feel my calloused hands closing around your throat

taste your loss

wake into the nightmare that has become our love

may your screams never cease

you've taken the last of me

Alesana - Obsession Is Such An Ugly World Lyrics

I toss and turn and lie awake...it torments me, I must know why

It just seems too easy...what is beyond that door?

As I take a step back I wonder could I go on and turn the key?

Look away! Turn away!

I should remember nothing is what it seems

For once in my life I will resist...temptation has

Come alive again!

When all is said and done I may not be able to move on

If I don't know what lies beyond

Desire is now the one in control

Am I strong enough to not ever know what I'd find?

Should I press on?

I can almost hear anguished cries as they suffer

Welcome to the bodies!

I should run...

I should run but I just can't see to move

Look away! Turn away!

I should remember nothing is what it seems

For once in my life I will resist...temptation has

Come alive again!

When all is said and done I may not be able to move on

If I don't know what lies beyond

Desire is now the one in control

Am I strong enough to not ever know just what I'd find?

What sinful trance awaits me as the key turns?

Now it is done...the key has been turned

All that is left is my embrace

Her trembling is driving me wild!

Her shrieks are so intoxicating!

Eyes filled with tears will strain to see

Welcome home! I am your prison!

Alesana - Not A Single Word About This Lyrics

I'd push you away but you are the only thing I know

I can't help believing in you... the idea of beauty leaves me enslaved

say you'll stay for tonight and I promise you this will be the last

I'd push you away but you are the only thing I know

at your feet I now lay for you are the only thing I know

I stare blindly into my reflection

a piece of me lost... I am terrified that I cannot breathe without you

I am nothing in my eyes if not lost

I can't see past your eyes, without them I would die

Shackles cut my wrists as I fight the chains

None can hold me

I'd push you away but you are the only thing I know

at your feet I now lay for you are the only thing I know

in a room where I once told you everything, I am alone

once beholden to nothing and no one

how is it that I am slave to these eyes which glisten with untold secrets

that I crave so wildly to understand?

I must steel my heart to your warm gaze

I'll claw out my eyes and see you no more

its because of you I sometimes wish that I would die

sometimes I wish I would die leaving you behind

enraptured by my ignorance, I now deserve sympathy

Alesana - Hymn For The Shameless Lyrics

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!

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.

Alesana - In Her Tomb By The Sounding Sea Lyrics

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 - Nero's Decay Lyrics

our empire has fallen

the columns came crashing down

faster that children could outrun the shadows

drunk with hysteria the survivors are running for their lives

as precious dreams erupt before their very eyes

tonight, it's over...at long last we will fall

ruins will fight in our stead

my flesh is burning from the embers

but still the brilliant tale of our utopia survives

tonight her beautiful exterior may crash and burn to ash

but the fight for her honor will rage on

I hope I never see the end

I hope I never have to live without her comfort

but for now she dies... oh Rome! so full of majesty, you're gone...

wind chokes on the ashes as acrid smoke strangles the sun

their jealous arrows ran, hollow drums pound at the gates

breaking the din of screams

our feeble offerings to forgotten Gods are left to rot in temples of their lust

as they lay forth their plans to destroy our pride, our home

tonight, it's over...at long last we will fall

ruins will fight in our stead

my flesh is burning from the embers

but still the brilliant tale of our utopia survives

tonight her beautiful exterior may crash and burn to ash

but the fight for her honor will rage on

I hope I never see the end

I hope I never have to live without her comfort

but for now she dies... oh Rome! so full of majesty, you're gone...

...beg the flames for our mercy...

these aged walls have seen too much

to forget the past in the face of this final trial

watch her crumble so true as mayhem cuts her down

let them have our treasure, her voice lives on

let them take our city for her splendor lives on

...at long last we will fall...
