ALESANA LYRICS

1. Praelūdium

True music, true art chooses you
It lights a fire inside of you that you can't explain
It lives in your heart, your mind, your soul
We are the guardians of its creation
And it is the beacon of our inspiration
The music survives if we keep the songs alive

2. Double Or Nothing

Time spins it's hands and reveals dire plans
Locked and loaded, pull the trigger
Destined to rise, we've got nothing to lose
Destined to rise and to fall
Hold your breath

Oh my God It's all happening
Seems it's more than a fairy tale
Whispers control our fate
Wings of Icarus if you burn too quickly
From ashes we will rise

Will we fly? Will we die?
In the unknown you have to question fantasy
Let's see what we're made of
Panic. Motivation.
Swallow the doubt and suffocate the urgency
There's no turning back now
Chaos is a ladder

Silently you told yourself that this was all a joke despite my faith
Look me in the eye, say it to my face, tell me I will fail
And I will prove you wrong

One final chance to give up and go back
To hell with that, onward we march!

Oh my God It's all happening
Seems it's more than a fairy tale
Whispers control our fate
Wings of Icarus if you burn too quickly
From ashes we will rise

Will we fly? Will we die?
In the unknown you have to question fantasy
Let's see what we're made of
Panic. Motivation.
Swallow the doubt and suffocate the urgency
There's no turning back now
Chaos is a ladder

Will we fly? Will we die?
Soon they will be seeing what we are believing

3. Ravenous

Reap what you sow
Do you believe yourself?
The lies you tell so well?
I hope you rot in hell
Yea! I'm gonna watch as you breakdown

From the shadows you strum on your web of influence
Consuming your victims from the inside
A spider to the end

You think you're innocent?
You think you're relevant?
You're such a hypocrite!
Yea! And now it's time for the payback!

Never forget who you are, stick to your guns
Reflections live through the night
Are you just a sucker buying time?
You drink it down, the clover poisons your lungs
They welcome you out of spite
Much to your twisted delight

I guess that I will never know exactly what they see in you

You have finally done it, you outsmarted the mirror
And believe the lies you told
Now you are complete, a jester and a fraud
When you smile at me I doubt you realize what I see
A shadow where once stood a fool

Reap what you sow
You think you're innocent?
You think you're relevant?
You're such a hypocrite!
Yea! And now it's time for the payback!

Never forget who you are, stick to your guns
Reflections live through the night
Are you just a sucker buying time?
You drink it down, the clover poisons your lungs
They welcome you out of spite
Much to your twisted delight

I guess that I will never know exactly what they see in you
In the end I will be the one standing and they'll be over you

Seems temptation finally found you
And now we'll watch you drown in your greed, in your lust
Swallow it down if it helps you sleep at night

Tell me more about the tour, hack!
About your crowds (&) how great they were! Go on!
Convince me that its real art, smile for the cameras
And assure me that you have a soul!
What have you become, trash?!
Such a damn disgrace, a waste!
They will scream that you're a charlatan
When you beg, "what have I done"?!

Never forget who you are, stick to your guns
Reflections live through the night
Are you just a sucker buying time?
You drink it down, the clover poisons your lungs
They welcome you out of spite
Much to your twisted delight

I guess that I will never know exactly what they see in you
In the end I will be the one standing and they'll be over you

4. Deja Vu All Over Again

Let's raise our glass to rock and roll
May we live fast and you die old!

Every time I blink my eyes
I hardly realize how many things I've seen
I start remembering where I've been, where I'm going

The world goes racing by, my limit is the sky
Once a face in the crowd now I am facing the crowd
We are the music makers, the dreamers of dreams

Raise your glass!

Sing along to every single song
And dance around like you can almost taste the beat
Now shut your eyes tight and lose yourself in the night
And when the sweat drips we will make your heart skip

When you're down I pick you up
One drink should be enough
Brothers through everything and always remembering
Where we've been and where we're going

Remember all that fear? The late nights and the tears?
Trying to do what's right while never forgetting why?
Long drives home in the sun-drenched thoughts of that first kiss

Raise your glass!

Sing along to every single song
And dance around like you can almost taste the beat
Now shut your eyes tight and lose yourself in the night
And when the sweat drips we will make your heart skip

Sing along and if you're feeling reckless
Jump around like you can almost taste the beat
Now shut your eyes tight and lose yourself in the night
And when the sweat drips we will make your heart skip
Give yourself to music, let it control you
Give yourself to music and it will set you free

Here's to the bold
Let's raise our glass to rock and roll
May we live fast and you die slow!

A way of life that you will never understand
My heart it lives here but my home is on the road
Over and over and over again
You dream therefore I am

Raise your glass!

Sing along to every single song
And dance around like you can almost taste the beat
Now shut your eyes tight and lose yourself in the night
And when the sweat drips we will make your heart skip

Sing along and if you're feeling reckless
Jump around like you can almost taste the beat
Now shut your eyes tight and lose yourself in the night
And when the sweat drips we will make your heart skip
Give yourself to music, let it control you
Give yourself to music and it will set you free

Raise you're glass!

5. Second Guessing

These eyes they have seen the world
These feet they have walked a thousand miles
My lungs have screamed countless melodies
How do I find the words, the motivation?

I know I could have it all but there's a price so high
A drop of blood is all it takes

Do you feel your fingertips losing their grip?
Will they be there when you start to fall?
I will never let go, let go of the night
The night we decided we could have it all

Chasing a meaningless ending
Without a good reason I'm just second guessing
Because I'm honestly fine beneath the wool
Take the road less traveled
Wait to see where it will lead
Maybe I'm just afraid
Maybe I am okay
Tell me are you second guessing?
Because you honestly seem to have it all
Are you under control or questioning how this all ends?

I could have it all but there's a price too high
A drop of blood is all it takes

Do you feel your fingertips losing their grip?
Will they be there when you start to fall?
I will never let go, let go of the night
The night we decided we could have it all

Stand and fight, swine!
Are you man enough to confess your lies?
Shaking the devil's hand, never missing a beat
You are a snake amidst the jewels of thieves
You crawl slithering cowardly fueled by empty respect
Your soul reeks of addiction
What's the price? Where's the line?
Sacrificing my honor just to be what you are?
I would rather be put to death

Do you feel your fingertips losing their grip?
Will they be there when you start to fall?
I will never let go, let go of the night
The night we decided we could have it all

I'll never be you

6. Nevermore

Memories saved destined to capture
decades passing by
A way to remember
(We need to remember)

Moments fade leaving to rejoin
decades passing by
Let's savor the present
But not lose the future

The shifting sands of time
Pour from the past
But you don't know then
What you hate to now

I try to argue but I'm not getting through
Close your eyes and sing along with me
Relive the memory

We've been here before and I'm begging for more
A destination so beautiful I'm speechless

Idle hands are the devil's playground
Problem solved
Get off your ass and pretend that you care
Nothing will change if we don't stand and fight
Call us to arms into the night
If we all take it for granted music soon will die
It's vanishing slowly, through ignorant madness
If you see what's wrong take a stand and scream out loud
If they want silence then disappoint them all

I try to argue but I'm not getting through
Close your eyes and sing along with me
Relive the memory

We've been here before and I'm begging for more
A destination so beautiful I'm speechless
(I'm speechless)

A positive mental attitude
(Dare to put your pen to the page
Fearlessly imagine your own tale)
Open doors and we're walking through
The music survives if we keep the songs alive

Step inside and relive the dream
of a young boy who tried to sing
and managed to fly
His story should never die

Idle hands are the devil's playground
Problem solved
Get off your ass and pretend that you care
Nothing will change if we don't stand and fight
Call us to arms into the night

With smiles and open arms
We all embrace the underdog!

DREAM!

Dream of a yet unvisited renaissance
A time when music will shimmer with hope

I try to argue but I'm not getting through
Close your eyes but...
I try to argue but I'm not getting through
Close your eyes and sing along with me
Relive the memory

We've been here before and I'm begging for more
A destination do beautiful I'm speechless

7. Hidden Track

Dear love, I'm honestly scared. Your voice is everywhere. Are you there? Oh, I am not ready for this. There's so much about you, love, I miss.

Do you know that I'm lost? And you left me here on my own. Songs live on but I'm dancing alone. Where is my lullaby?

Sometimes I forget you're gone. You're all I have, known for so long.

Do you know that I'm lost? And you left me here on my own. Songs live on but I'm dancing alone. Where is my lullaby?

(It seems so unfair but the sun still shines and the waves still crash and the wind still blows) (I'll never let go, love. Tonight, I say goodbye) I'm closing my eyes! (I will carry on, what choice do I have. But without your love, smiles are meaningless) I'm closing my eyes! (I'll never let go, love. Tonight, I say goodbye)

(It seems so unfair but the sun still shines and the waves still crash and the wind still blows) (I'll never let go, love. Tonight, I say goodbye) I'm closing my eyes! (I will carry on, what choice do I have. But without your love, smiles are meaningless) (I'll never let go, love. Tonight, I say goodbye)

Do you know that I'm lost? And you left me here on my own. Songs live on but I'm dancing alone.

My hand is lost without yours to hold in mine.

And tonight I will say goodbye.
