The Acolyte
Alesana

Dead and lost with tired faces, antiquated passion laid to rest

Wake up!

No smiles for the memories we have, rotting with the corpses of our past

Please wake up!

Here we stand left in the dark! Kick back!

Here we are screaming for help! Strike back!

Do you think that we have a fighting chance?

Shall we dance on the wings of hope and together fly through the sky?

We are not living for this! I will take back what is ours!


Stand up coward!

Dear God, scream it like you mean it!

No time to rest for sleep beckons the weak


Darling, please understand and listen, this is insane

This can’t be it, I don’t think I am ready for goodbyes

If you leave, if we try to finish what we began

I don’t think I can bring you back

So kiss me before you go and whisper three sweet words


There must be something that I missed, pieces drift away

I wish I could think outside of the box now, solve the riddle

no stone will be left unturned

with God as my witness I will find a way

to slow, to beat the wheels of time

I wake up beside you and we smile, oh foolishness


Stand up coward!

Dear God, scream it like you mean it!

No time to rest for sleep beckons the weak



Darling, please understand and listen, this is insane

This can’t be it, I don’t think I am ready for goodbyes

If you leave, if we try to finish what we began

I don’t think I can bring you back

So kiss me before you go and whisper three sweet words


Shatter the hourglass

Dissect the universe, tear through reality, rearrange the stars above


Open your eyes and gaze the skies above a world that we have made

Blood, sweat, and tears, ions and years

We’re building a utopia


Yet I still remain in this cursed place

So far from my dreams

This must be hell! I will escape!

Burn it to the ground

Tear it brick from brick

Till there’s nothing left but a hole in the sky


Darling, please understand and listen, this is insane

This can’t be it, I don’t think I am ready for goodbyes

If you leave, if we try to finish what we began

I don’t think I can bring you back

So kiss me before you go and whisper three sweet words


Shatter the hourglass

Dissect the universe, tear through reality, rearrange the stars above
