Tilting The Hourglass Lyric - ALESANA

You take my breath 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
(Forget) 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 darkened 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!
..(2x)

I see the fear growing in there...
