Alesana - A Gilded Masquerade (score) lyrics

As the water drips from the sky I start to wander 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 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 could 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 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 could 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 the cowl and stare into my own eyes (Now we can be one forever) Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? (Yeah!) (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 could 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
