LYRICS:
Dead and lost with tired faces, antiquated passion laid to rest
Wake up! 
No smiles for the memories we have, rotting with the corpses of our past 
Please wake up!
Here we stand left in the dark!  Kick back!
Here we are screaming for help!  Strike back!
Do you think that we have a fighting chance? 
Shall we dance on the wings of hope and together fly through the sky? 
We are not living for this! I will take back what is ours!

Stand up coward!
Dear God, scream it like you mean it!
No time to rest for sleep beckons the weak

Darling, please understand and listen, this is insane
This can’t be it, I don’t think I am ready for goodbyes
If you leave, if we try to finish what we began
I don’t think I can bring you back
So kiss me before you go and whisper three sweet words

There must be something that I missed, pieces drift away
I wish I could think outside of the box now, solve the riddle 
no stone will be left unturned
with God as my witness I will find a way 
to slow, to beat the wheels of time
I wake up beside you and we smile, oh foolishness

Stand up coward!
Dear God, scream it like you mean it!
No time to rest for sleep beckons the weak

Darling, please understand and listen, this is insane
This can’t be it, I don’t think I am ready for goodbyes
If you leave, if we try to finish what we began
I don’t think I can bring you back
So kiss me before you go and whisper three sweet words

Shatter the hourglass
Dissect the universe, tear through reality, rearrange the stars above  

Open your eyes and gaze the skies above a world that we have made
Blood, sweat, and tears, ions and years
We’re building a utopia

Yet I still remain in this cursed place
So far from my dreams
This must be hell! I will escape!
Burn it to the ground
Tear it brick from brick 
Till there’s nothing left but a hole in the sky

Darling, please understand and listen, this is insane
This can’t be it, I don’t think I am ready for goodbyes
If you leave, if we try to finish what we began
I don’t think I can bring you back
So kiss me before you go and whisper three sweet words

Shatter the hourglass
Dissect the universe, tear through reality, rearrange the stars above

LYRICS:
I welcome you to paradise!
It’s what you wished for
A mountain of filth haunted by tortured shrieks of the dead!
I know you’ll love it here!

Time stops and once again I’m stranded nowhere
And yet again I’m so confused 
Why stop?
It honestly can’t get much worse and I’m better off here than on my own

Step right up, come one and all!
I will be your host tonight!
Welcome to the dreams of hell!
You’re in for a wild ride! 

It’s strange but I feel right at home
It’s odd but I don’t want to go
Am I a fool?  Am I crazy to want to stay?  Do I belong?
Another time, another place?  This will do just fine

Foolish mortal, what did you think?
That you’d shackle the hands of time?
And defeat the Gods themselves?
Sweet vanity you’re my favorite sin!
Swallow mountains and choke on them
Then drown yourself on Lazarus 
Spread your wings and grab the sun
Sweet vanity you’re my favorite sin!

Pretty lady let’s dance!
I bet you thought that you could choose to leave?
Everybody is dead!
You’re all alone and I’m the one, the only one!  Yea!

I’ll do whatever it takes 
Oh, what’s another mistake

Back and forth and upside down as we laugh ourselves to sleep
We’re trying to escape 
An evil place so full of wonder taking a hold of me...

Feeling the pressure, I should be over you
Slave to the pleasure, I can’t get over you
Tonight we’ll try to pretend that we’re alright, yea
Say its forever, don’t let me fade away

Everything’s gone, everything’s lost
What have I done?  Can it be undone?
Where did you go?  Will I find you?
This is our home, sweet home.  The canvas went up in flames   

Pretty lady let’s dance!
I bet you thought that you could choose to leave?
Everybody is dead!
You’re all alone and I’m the one, the only one!  Yea!

I’ll do whatever it takes 
Oh, what’s another mistake

Back and forth and upside down as we laugh ourselves to sleep
We’re trying to escape 
An evil place so full of wonder taking a hold of me...

Feeling the pressure, I should be over you
Slave to the pleasure, I can’t get over you
Tonight we’ll try to pretend that we’re alright, yea
Say its forever, don’t let me fade away
I’m everything you want, I’m everything you need  
You’re everything to me, don’t let me fade away

Foolish mortal, what did you think?
That you’d shackle the hands of time?
And defeat the Gods themselves?
Sweet vanity you’re my favorite sin!
Swallow mountains and choke on them
Then drown yourself on Lazarus 
Spread your wings and grab the sun
Sweet vanity you’re my favorite sin!

Parting is such sweet sorrow
Come back to me soon my dear
I will be counting the days
Farewell my love
This is our home, sweet home
Drench yourself in the cries of the damned!
Spill their blood!
Bathe in bliss as we torture the sane!
Help me, God!

LYRICS:
Dearest love, I hope this finds you well
I am kidding this is probably hell
Lonely stranger with a brush in hand
Never saw me sneaking up on him
Tonight say goodbye to what you thought you knew 
They’ll blame the blood spilled on you
I’m closing my eyes, one more kiss before I never wake again

Two moves ahead of you
You are a pawn
Castle now but I’m behind your king
As your queen lays bleeding on the board
Accept you have lost the game, misjudged your enemy

Unleash the myth living in your worst fears
I’m trapped!  Don’t wait!

Page abandoned, the stories write themselves
The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end
Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone
The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world’s collide
The story is ending

Would you remember Joan of Arc was her flesh yet unlicked by flame?
Will you remember how the waves crash on the shores of time?
Who would’ve ever known that each choice made sense?
Who could’ve ever known?
Are we not our actions?  
Our lives are poetry, make them sonnets

Unleash the myth living in your worst fears
I’m trapped!  Don’t wait!

Page abandoned, the stories write themselves
The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end
Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone
The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world’s collide
The story is ending

Why do the floorboards creak like a heartbeat
This room is driving me insane
What’s behind the bricks?
Who’s rapping at my chamber door?
Pendulum, why do you torment me?
What am I saying?  Have I lost my mind?

I am her!

No longer Fatima, goddess, light  
I’ve become Rusalka, demon of night!

Two moves ahead of you
You are a pawn
Castle now but I’m behind your king
As your queen lays bleeding on the board
Accept you have lost the game, misjudged your enemy

Don’t wait...

Page abandoned, the stories write themselves
The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end
Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone
The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world’s collide
Page abandoned, time is ending
The story is ending, make them sonnets
We sit and watch the world’s collide

The night that I died I had become Rusalka.  I was no longer me.  I was no longer Annabel.  The beautiful evil coursed through my veins and I saw so clearly what needed to be done.  As you lay, fast asleep, I penned her farewell and kissed your cheek.  The knife felt so light in my hand, so heavy in my stomach.  There is something about this room…

LYRICS:
This is the final act
Please take your seats, this is the moment that you’ve been waiting for
This is gonna be a wild ride! 

Your telltale heart is beating, unstable minds descend
I’m through trying to reach you, I am the emptiness
Our love will nevermore attach your soul to mine
You don’t understand, time is on my side now baby
And time is running out

Do not believe in imitations, we have to crave a masterpiece beneath the ink 
We’re falling for the fiction, there’s more than meets the eye 

The end is dawning
The sun is setting on a silent mourning
Our stars aligning as universes shatter time
I’m resisting reality

I remember when, my love, you could stop time with just a smile 
Save it for tomorrow, my love
I’ll regret those words forever more

I danced with our accuser, murderer from the start
Climbed out of Tartarus for one last night with you
You don't understand we are poetry now, baby
But time is running out

Do not believe in imitations, we have to crave a masterpiece beneath the ink 
We’re falling for the fiction, there’s more than meets the eye 

The end is dawning
The sun is setting on a silent mourning
Our stars aligning as universes shatter time
I’m resisting reality

I remember when, my love, you could stop time with just a smile 
Save it for tomorrow, my love
I’ll regret those words forever more

The end is dawning
The sun is setting on a silent mourning
Our stars aligning as universes shatter time
Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror?

I must be dreaming, I drop the knife, turn and see you
You can’t be me
I can’t be you

Oh my God!  Where am I?
Let me go!  Let me go!
Save me from this nightmare!
Annabel?!  I can not be lying there!

My ‘Bel, you know you’re the cause of this?!
If you had not left me then he would not have lost his mind
If you’re seeking forgiveness you have come to the wrong place

The compass spins
What's that feeling in your stomach 
First a flutter now a shudder
Creeping up your spine and now you know that something's not right
Something lurking something peering inching closer inching closer
Trying not to think about it trying not to think about it
It's here!

Foregrounds burst to nothing
As symmetry explodes
The Artist screams and beauty dies, his canvas rends
While his easel burns
He's lost everything in but one cruel instant existence swept away 
Did man even notice as he was erased?

Alesana - A Gilded Masquerade

Rebirth

Shattered glass reflection, a torment taking shape
Sinews twist in agony, a soul that can’t escape
Eyes rolled back in horror, the truth you chose to hide
Now clawing from the shadows, it festers deep inside

Veins coil like serpents writhing under skin 
The burden of the nightmare, where fear begin

Contorted face
The voice you tried to cover screams your name
The terror you created fans the flame
Delusion, eviscerate 
It comes for you, now you wait

Twisting with the revelation, this is an evisceration
Hands once casting judgment shake in sheer damnation
Choking on repentance as the mirror bursts in shards
The beast within revealed, no more hiding battle scars

Contorted face
The voice you tried to cover screams your name
The terror you created fans the flame
Delusion, eviscerate 
It comes for you, now you wait

Contorted face
The voice you tried to cover screams your name
The terror you created fans the flame
Delusion, eviscerate 
It comes for you, now you wait


Lulluby (Contorted Face of the Undeniable)

Lyrics:

The sky is burning red
With blood
With the blood everything we’ve dreamed of
Was this all the fault of ignorance
While we stand here and watch our world collapse
When will we realize
It’s one for all
Not all for one
For they’ve spoken about our pain
Bloody hands and a rusty blade
Should we’ve read this between the lines
Into ashes our souls will finally go
It’s all a game
But even now
I feel so afraid
I know it hurts
So I’ll take the time to dry your eyes
Take my hand, until the end
Their golden walls are falling down
What will you do when they have taken everything that you’ve callen so meaningful
While the blood of the martyrs are flowing down
When they all have died in vain?
But it’s not the right of them to say
It’s all a game
But even now
I feel so afraid
I know it hurts
So I’ll take the time to dry your eyes
Take my hand, until the end
Take my hand, until the end
Oh the ashes are burning into the air
With their palaces crumbling unto the ground
This is not the time to rest
But only now what is right be wrong
Oh, the sirens will ring as they burn in hell
But every tick of the clock is another life
Oh it’s all in our hands what is yet to come
Here is now but will we come to act
