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 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!

Calm consumes me 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 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"
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 washes over me, calm consumes me

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?
