Paroles A gilded masquerade Alesana

A gilded masquerade

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
Such a big surprise
The water stops

Wickedness will rain,
And drown us in her sorrow
(Sorrow and her thirst)
If I hope to survive,
I must think faster.
I'm losing ground
(I'm losing ground)

Should I pull back her veil?
You had the best of me
(The best of me)
As that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but
your brilliance is my darkness

You had me convinced
(You had me convinced)
That together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface
(And I saw behind your masquerade)
Your body is an illness

Temples crashing down
all around me panic
(Panic towards me bring)
The golden city falls,
And with it our lives
go up in flames
(Go up in flames)

Should I pull back her veil?
You had the best of me
(Now taste the worst)
As that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but
your brilliance is my darkness

You had me convinced
(You had me convinced)
That together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface
(And I saw behind 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)

Who are you, who are you, who are you?
Yeah!
Hey! x8

Hey! x8

I pull back her veil.
You had the best of me
(Now taste the worst)
As that glimmers is not gold
I may be wrong but
your brilliance is my darkness

You had me convinced.
(You had me convinced)
That together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface
(And I saw behind your masquerade)
Your body is an illness

I may never be the same again
(I may never be the same again)
