Madeline - Alesana

Sweetheart, be still

Enjoy the show

All the walls are beginning to bleed

Lay to rest any hope of flight

Oh, my God can this be happening?!

Darkness quenches anxious light!

My sly illusion is chasing after me

As time cries, «please forget what you’ve seen»

One minute I was there chasing dreams

Suddenly I’m here cheating death

One mistake and I’ll be a slave to it, yea

And maybe I will find you on the other side

Or maybe I’m trapped in this narration

So condemned to never be again

I own you now, oh sweet child

Just when you thought you had fooled the Gods

Oh, darling just you wait

Such mystery remains

I could try to scream, I could just run

But I would find you and punish you for your sins

For ever thinking you were clever enough to prevail

Everyone is dead, everything is dead, everything is dead!

I’m loving every second of watching you writhe!

My sly illusion is chasing after me

As time cries, «please forget what you’ve seen»

One minute I was there chasing dreams

Suddenly I’m here cheating death

One mistake and I’ll be a slave to it, yea

And maybe I will find you on the other side

Or maybe I’m trapped in this narration

So condemned to never be again

Let the games begin!

Try your best to escape, lamb!

I saved the worst for you, yea!

I’ll humiliate your soul!

I’ll make you wish you’d stayed asleep!

One minute I was there chasing dreams

Suddenly I’m here cheating death

One mistake and I’ll be a slave to it, yea

And maybe I will find you on the other side

Or maybe I’m trapped in this narration

So condemned to never be again

I own you now, oh sweet child

Sweetheart, be still

Enjoy the show

All the walls are beginning to bleed

Just when you thought you had fooled the Gods

Oh, darling just you wait

Shall we begin?

Will we all be saved today?
