Alesana - A Gilded Masquerade lyrics
[Alesana - A Gilded Masquerade lyrics]
As the water drips from the
Sky I start to wander
If I'm still alive then I
Have to find the answer
Could it be that it was a
Dream and I'm still beside her?
Right before my eyes a tragic surprise
The water stops
Wickedness will rain and drown us in
Her sorrow and her thirst
If I hope to survive I must think faster
I'm losing ground
Should I pull back the veil?
You had the best of me, now taste the worst
All that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but your
Brilliance is my darkness
You had me convinced that
Together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface
And I saw beyond your masquerade
Your body is an illness
Temples crashing down all around me
Panic chokes the streets
The golden city falls and with it
Our lives go up in flames
Should I pull back the veil?
You had the best of me, now taste the worst
All that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but your
Brilliance is my darkness
You had me convinced that
Together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface
And I saw beyond your masquerade
Your body is an illness
(All shall be made clear
We've been watching you wander)
My blood runs cold
(There's no need to run farther)
I fear I know the truth
(Come into our arms, brother)
I tear back the cowl and
Stare into my own eyes
(Now we can be one forever)
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
(yeah, Hey, hey hey hey)
I pull back the veil
You had the best of me, now taste the worst
All that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but your
Brilliance is my darkness
You had me convinced that
Together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface
And I saw beyond your masquerade
Your body is an illness and I'm
Sickened by the thought of you
I may never be the same again
I may never be the same again
Sky I start to wander
If I'm still alive then I
Have to find the answer
Could it be that it was a
Dream and I'm still beside her?
Right before my eyes a tragic surprise
The water stops
Wickedness will rain and drown us in
Her sorrow and her thirst
If I hope to survive I must think faster
I'm losing ground
Should I pull back the veil?
You had the best of me, now taste the worst
All that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but your
Brilliance is my darkness
You had me convinced that
Together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface
And I saw beyond your masquerade
Your body is an illness
Temples crashing down all around me
Panic chokes the streets
The golden city falls and with it
Our lives go up in flames
Should I pull back the veil?
You had the best of me, now taste the worst
All that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but your
Brilliance is my darkness
You had me convinced that
Together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface
And I saw beyond your masquerade
Your body is an illness
(All shall be made clear
We've been watching you wander)
My blood runs cold
(There's no need to run farther)
I fear I know the truth
(Come into our arms, brother)
I tear back the cowl and

Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
(yeah, Hey, hey hey hey)

You had the best of me, now taste the worst
All that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but your
Brilliance is my darkness
You had me convinced that
Together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface
And I saw beyond your masquerade
Your body is an illness and I'm
Sickened by the thought of you
I may never be the same again
I may never be the same again
