A Gilded Masquerade Lyrics

Alesana

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

Wickedness will rain, and drown us in her.
Sorrow and her thirst!
If I hope to survive, I must think faster.
I'm losing ground.
Should I pull back her 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 would 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 her 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 would 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 wander)
My blood runs cold
(There's no need to run farther)
I fear I know the truth
(Come into our arms, brother)
I tear back to cowl and stare into my own eyes!
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you!?
Yeah!

Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey

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 would fly
Until I started scratching at the surface.
And I saw beyond your masquerade!
Your body is an illness.
And I'm sickened by the thought of you!
I may never be the same again
(I may never be the same again)
