Lyrics Alesana - Curse Of The Virgin Canvas

I am here to tell you a story
a story that will torture your thoughts by day
and poison your dreams by night
and though i will do my best,
there are no words that can be written
nor brush strokes laid on canvas
that can describe this stark
and utter horror of the night that Annabel died

the emptiness will haunt you

this is a nightmare
is my Annabel really gone?
My eyes are stung by daylight,
i find it hard to breathe
her body teases me
as the sun reveals the dawn
The smell of bleed still crawls,
I kiss you softly goodbye.

baby lay in my arms
and cuddle me close
soon this will be
just an awful memory
(will i ever be able to sleep again?)

my angel lie to me
and tell me im dreaming
(please wake me up, please wake me)
A girl like you will always be
such a tragic part of me
(oh ecstacy you torture me).

i watch the blood drip
from the corners of your mouth
Your icy flesh is lying,
your pallid skin still glows.

im starting to belive
what my eyes are seeing now
You're still so beautiful
and yet so morbidly still.

baby lay in my arms
and cuddle me close
soon this will be
just an awful memory
(will i ever be able to sleep again?)

my angel lie to me
and tell me i'm dreaming
(please wake me up, please wake me)
A girl like you will always be
such a tragic part of me
(oh ecstacy you torture me).

Sweet revenge...
He will pay,
he will pay my dear.

empty eyes accuse
a face so evil
im comming undone
the mirror says it all
a crimison story
of innocence lost
empty eyes accuse
a face so evil
im comming undone

So terribly memory returns
of her struggle,
of her screams, of her.
Lord forgive me!
My stomache heaves
as I see the blood that covers me.
Blood that was once hers.
I'm a monster!

such an awful memory
(will i ever be able to sleep again?)

my angel lie to me
and tell me im dreaming
(please wake me up, please wake me)
A girl like you will always be
such a tragic part of me
(oh ecstacy you torture me).

Sweet revenge...
He will pay,
he will pay my dear.

a mirror never lies
they know, everybody knows
do you not see what they see?
a mirror never lies
i see what they see
everybody knows, everybody knows
