Versuri Alesana - A Gilded Masquerade



Album: Alesana - A Place Where The Sun Is Silent

As the water drips from the sky, I start to wonder
If I'm still alive then I have to find an answer.
Could it be that it was a dream and I'm still beside her?
Right before my eyes such a big surprise, the water stops.

Wickidness will rain and drown off in her sorrow.
(Sorrow!) In her face!
If I hope to survive I must think faster, I'm loosing 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, wanderer.
My blood runs cold.
There's no need to run farther.
I fear I know the truth.

I tear back the cowl! And stare into my own eyes!
(Come into our arms, brother.)

Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?!
Yeah!
Hey! x16

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.
