Daggers Speak Louder Than Words - 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 rue 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
