Alesana - Curse Of The Virgin Canvas lyrics
rate me<br>
(I am here to tell you a story.<br />
A story that will torture your thoughts by day and poison your dreams by night.<br />
And though I will do my best, there are no words<br />
that can be written nor brush strokes laid on canvas<br />
that can describe the stark and utter horror of the night that Annabel died.<br />
The emptiness will haunt you.)<br />
<br />
This is a nightmare, is my Annabel really gone?<br />
My eyes are stung by daylight, I find it hard to breathe.<br />
Her body teases me as the sun reveals the dawn.<br />
The smell of blood still crawls, I kiss you softly goodbye.<br />
<br />
Baby, lay in my arms and cuddle me close.<br />
Soon this will be just an awful memory...<br />
Will I ever be able to sleep again?<br />
<br />
My angel lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming.<br />
(please wake me up, please wake me).<br />
A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me.<br />
(oh ecstasy you torture me).<br />
<br />
I watch the blood drip from the corners of your mouth.<br />
Your icy flesh is lying, your pallid skin still glows.<br />
I'm starting to believe what my eyes are seeing now.<br />
You're still so beautiful and yet so morbidly still.<br />
<br />
Baby, lay in my arms and cuddle me close.<br />
Soon this will be just an awful memory...<br />
Will I ever be able to sleep again?<br />
<br />
My angel lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming.<br />
(please wake me up, please wake me).<br />
A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me.<br />
(oh ecstasy you torture me).<br />
<br />
Sweet revenge... He will pay, he will pay my dear.<br />
Empty eyes accuse a face so evil, I'm coming undone.<br />
The mirror says it all, a crimson story of innocence lost.<br />
Empty eyes accuse a face so evil, I'm coming undone.<br />
What have I done to her?<br />
<br />
So terribly memory returns of her struggle, of her screams, of her.<br />
Lord forgive me!<br />
My stomach heaves as I see the blood that covers me.<br />
Blood that was once hers.<br />
I'm a monster!<br />
<br />
... Such an awful memory... Will I ever be able to sleep again?<br />
<br />
My angel lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming.<br />
(please wake me up, please wake me).<br />
A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me.<br />
(oh ecstasy you torture me).<br />
<br />
Sweet revenge... He will pay, he will pay my dear.<br />
<br />
(A mirror never lies.<br />
They know.<br />
Everybody knows.<br />
Do you not see what they see?<br />
A mirror never lies.<br />
I see what they see. Everybody knows. Everybody knows.)
