Alchemy X

A Kiss Before Dying

Alchemy X


In silent shades…the early dawn colors the mourning sky 
As I awake - as I awake from fitful sleep and memories 
Does time exist to torture love and cripple dreams? 
The words that cut so deeply 
What I felt for you 
It seems so far away... 

Alone yet unforgiven 
Your lips the cold machinery 
Turned low by the morning light 
All the pain we share means nothing 
When I stare into the vacuum of your eyes 
What hope could there be now? 

Why do we take this path that leads to certainty? 
Hoping that just this once 
The movie has a different ending 
But there you are in cruel repose and here am I alone 
Another chapter in this book of fools 

Waiting for the walls to crumble as the light shines in 
The poison words - the gentle daggers to a jaded shrine 
Who's to know what eloquence became a fait complit? 
An actor's line that echoes always in my mind… 

Falling - Falling - in and out of my life 
Falling - Falling - is this really truth or lies? 
In all my fevered dreams - you never say the words 
The world it always wins 
This afterimage burns my memory 

Falling-Falling-in and out of my life 
Falling-Falling-like embers from a fire 
In all my fevered dreams 
We go our separate ways 
It always ends the same 
Frozen cries Lifeless eyes 
A kiss upon my lips before I die…
