Artist/Band: Alesana
Lyrics for Song: Tilting the Hourglass
Lyrics for Album: On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax [2006]



You take my breathe away

But I'll never again taste your lips

As fate keeps me locked away

I must close my eyes to see your face



Emptiness has darkened my eyes

As I hopelessly beg for my life to end

Tell me why

My iron eyes tell the tale

Heroes always pay in their blood

I can be only this



I see the fear growing in their lost eyes

My purpose is so clear

I am the ax

I am the ax and this is why I must not fear the end

And when I'm gone will you forget me?

Will you forget?

Pen wears its steady course across the page

Resigned to it's designs to take the hive



Emptiness has darkened my eyes

As I hopelessly beg for my life to end

Tell me why

Emptiness has darkened my eyes

As I hopelessly beg for my life to end

Tell me why

I wish I could make you see

I wish I could make you see through the pain

Through the end

I wish I could make you see the greater purpose that I have to serve

No one else will fight

No one else will fight

So I must



My iron eyes tell the tale

Heroes always pay in their blood

I can be only this



I am the ax

Fear has been lost to faith

The darkest night has come before the end

Of which we must prevail

Amidst the pitch of steel we shall arise

I will destroy all those who oppose me



My iron eyes tell the tale

Heroes always pay in their blood

I can be only this



My iron eyes tell the tale

Heroes always pay in their blood

I can be only this

I see the fear growing in there
