Fatima Rusalka Lyrics - Alesana

Born out of nothingness, defined by beauty and patience. 

A tortured existence which leaves behind no answers. 

Destined to suffer the struggle, cursed to be one of them, to be both of them. 

Fatima. Rusalka. 

Somewhere between the chaos and the void in a desert that predates time itself, bereft of stars and untouched by the Gods of man. 

There was only one. There was only her. 

Black echoes deafening silence 

Spat upon the tortured earth 

She is born all alone 

Cursed to never live, cursed to never die 

Scarlet fiend condemned to breathe eternally 

Thirsting for an answer, starving for her purpose 

But the sky holds his tongue as she waits for the end 

And it's not looking good at all 

An anguished melody reveals to me a memory of love once lost 

A quiet affliction, a moment of weakness 

Breathe and shut your eyes 

Finally, it all makes sense so naturally I am lost 

When angels and devils make sense of the wreckage 

Unsung heroine, death won't set you free 

Cautiously I softly fake a smile, its cold here at night 

I'm trying to hide, dying to find myself 

I should stop praying to no one 

I can't stop searching for someone 

Please just stop, sweetheart, it gets better than this 

I wish I could go, wish I could find a way 

I just want to see your face 

But now I'm starting to see how it all ends 

And it's not looking good at all 

An anguished melody reveals to me a memory of love once lost 

A quiet affliction, a moment of weakness 

Breathe and shut your eyes 

Finally, it all makes sense so naturally I am lost 

When angels and devils make sense of the wreckage 

Unsung heroine, death won't set you free 

Immortality is your curse, an orphan by God, and lost 

You're an orphan by God, and lost 

An orphan by God 

So now it seems the sky has failed me 

This has been a terrible mistake 

If I had just one more chance... 

If you're looking for an answer 

Hold tight and never let me go 

And the lies we said we'll bury with the rest 

Oh, the senselessness of all this suffering 

Feel it again and over again 

Let it begin 

Ageless warrior left to destroy mankind and reap the earth 

We have to believe, trust that there is hope 

Useless prayers will be left to unveil the truth that all is lost 

We have to believe, trust that there is hope 

It was never just a dream.
