Hymn For The Shameless

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? 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? 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 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 --- Hymn for the Shameless - Alesana
