Alesana - Tilting the hourglass

Tekst :

You take my breathe away
but I ll never 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 bed 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 ax
I am the ax and this is why I must not fear the end
and when I m gone will you forget me?
pen wears its steady course across the page
resigned to it s designs to take the hive

emptiness has darkened my eyes
as I hopelessly bed 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 ax...
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

I see the fear growing in there

    The iron maiden

    She walks on through the night
    Her circumstances slight
    Are only helping her to fail
    And though she feels she s right
    She tries with all her might
    And makes the deepest peril pale
    Oh, but she is unreal
    Oh, but she doesn t feel
    Oh, but she is unreal
    She chooses who to love
    And then unlike a dove
    She...

    Szczęście

    Nie ciekaw jestem świata
    Ogromnych pięknych miast
    Nie więcej one powiedzą
    Jak ten przydrożny głaz

    Usiadłem sobie pod drzewem
    Spokojny jestem i sam
    O Boże o szczęście moje
    Jakże dziękować ci mam

    I ludzi nie jestem ciekaw
    Co nauk zgłębili sto
    Wystarczy mi pierwszy lepszy
    Wystarczy mi byle kto

    Usiadłem sobie pod drzewem
    Spokojny jestem i sam
    O Boże o szczęście moje
    Jakże dziękować...

    Close my eyes

    Verse 1:
    I live my days with the nights that we spent all the love we shared,
    i put my heart on the side for a while knowing you re not here,
    i tried to carry on to face the fact you re gone, but i need...

    Mortal games

    Suffering my only need now is to hang
    the rope does swing, hanging from the darkened ceiling
    Strangling, dangling from my twisted spine
    I knew I would enjoy death more than life
    My lids close tight, but the light blinds my eyes
    My body grows cold - my cock becomes erect

    Watching over my dead shell,...

    Fuck it

    Took your cheap shots and now I ve had enough
    Life s a bitch boy when times are tough
    It s best to burn out and worse to fade
    I m gonna punch the clock out with all dues paid

    I hate the taste of...
