Alesana – Tilting the hourglass
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 bed 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 bed 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 see the fear growing in there
