Alesana - Alchemy Sounded Good At The Time lyrics

'Dis 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 it's secrets
For a price too high
I shudder at what I have done
Each day brings me closer to you
My tragic victory
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 it's secrets
For a price too high
I shudder at what I have done
Each day brings me closer to you
My tragic victory

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 it's secrets
For a price too high
I shudder at what I have done
Each day brings me closer to you
My tragic victory
