Alesana - Tilting The Hourglass lyrics
[Alesana - Tilting The Hourglass lyrics]
You take my breathe away
But, I'll never again 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 beg 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 axe
I am the axe
And this is why I must not fear the end
And when I'm gone, will you forget me?
(Will you forget?) Pen wears it's
Steady course across the page
(Forget) Resigned to it's designs
To take the hive
Emptiness has darkened my eyes
As I hopelessly beg for my life to end
Tell me why emptiness has darkened my eyes
As I hopelessly beg 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 am the axe fear has been lost to faith
The darkest night has come before the end
Of which we must prevail
Amidst the pitch of steel, we shall arise
I will destroy all those who oppose me
My iron eyes tell the tale
Heroes always pay in their blood
I can be only this
My iron eyes tell the tale
Heroes always pay in their blood
I can be only this
I see the fear growing in there
But, I'll never again 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 beg 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 axe
I am the axe
And this is why I must not fear the end
And when I'm gone, will you forget me?
(Will you forget?) Pen wears it's
Steady course across the page
(Forget) Resigned to it's designs
To take the hive
Emptiness has darkened my eyes
As I hopelessly beg for my life to end
Tell me why emptiness has darkened my eyes
As I hopelessly beg 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 am the axe fear has been lost to faith
The darkest night has come before the end
Of which we must prevail
Amidst the pitch of steel, we shall arise
I will destroy all those who oppose me
My iron eyes tell the tale
Heroes always pay in their blood
I can be only this
My iron eyes tell the tale
Heroes always pay in their blood
I can be only this
I see the fear growing in there
