Daggers Speak Louder Than Words Lyrics - On Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax - Alesana

Eyes open to splattered blood 

Cold tile mocks me as I arise 

To find the knife is still in my back 

Shifting thoughts now slow with venom 

Take me as I stagger...Is this all we were worth? 

I've lost you for good without regret 

Your once gentle words are bleeding from my eyes 

Screams of terror now fill my every breath 

I know you'll rule the day you ever met me 

I'll lay you down to sleep when 

Sorrow will bury the blade hilt deep 

You know I would have died for you 

Now I'm forced to choose between 

A life of revenge or regret 

As I thirst for vengeance, 

My heart struggles to come to grips 

Why would you leave me to die, 

Turn, and walk away? 

Alone, you stood so still 

As you watched me break 

Did it now kill you too? 

What has led you to 

The dagger my friend? 

You know I would have died for you 

Now I'm forced to choose between 

A life of revenge or regret 

As I thirst for vengeance, 

My heart struggles to come to grips 

Why would you leave me to die, 

Turn, and walk away? 

My revenge is made so clear midst 

Cold tears left with the betrayed 

I'll see that you never forget this 

I will hunt you down like a dog 

Lies could never disguise 

What I saw behind me in you 

Remembering times we have shared... 

My friend for life is gone 

We'll let the embers serve as 

The only memory of last days, 

So long ago 

Why would you leave me to die, 

Turn, and walk away? 

Why would you leave me to die 

After you had buried the dagger hilt deep? 

...You're dead to me... 

I would have died for you 

Now I'm forced to choose between 

A life of revenge or regret 

As I thirst for vengeance, 

My heart struggles to come to grips 

why would you leave me to die, 

Turn, and walk away? 

...You're dead to me...
