Better Luck Next Time, Prince Charming
Alesana · Where Myth Fades to Legend [2008]
I will never rest until she's in my arms
So close and yet so far away...
A simple kiss to bring her back, to make this story end
Not all knights in shining armor can make your dreams come true
He's not quite as charming as he may seem
Come and claim your queen!
The wild beasts are ravenous, they will soon devour you
Dark howls echo better cries but they fall upon deaf ears
Not all knights in shining armor can make your dreams come true
He's not quite as charming as he may seem
Come and claim your queen!
You're Pathetic! What good did you do?!?
She had faith in me, I waser only escape
A most deep and subtle poison welcomes her unblinking eyes to eternal sleep
If i had shown, she would be mine
Who is the fairest of all? Tell me again! Tell me again! You know its me!
A simple kiss to bring her back, to make this story end
Not all knights in shining armor can make your dreams come true
He's not quite as charming as he may seem
We'll make ypour dreams come true, come and claim your queen!
