Hymn for the Shameless - Alesana

aw 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
