Alesana - To Be Scared By An Owl

Look at the sky as the night descends,
the rain is crashing down, I've hit another dead end.
Just before I let hope slip away,
a shadow is revealed, the devil shows his face.

I'm scared to death and have myself to blame, I'm to blame.
How did we end up fighting anyway?

You know I used to search the sky and dream of where you were,
I need you by my side, we can end this together.
I know I promised you the world and still I let you down,
I need you by my side and together we'll end this now.

Look in my eyes, am I shaking now?
I am all you fear, have I made myself clear?

Shut your mouth and finish what you've started.
Boy, you haven't got the slightest idea,
just who I am and what I do for you.
Don't you see that I am trying to save you?
Shut your mouth and finish what you've started.

I'm scared to death and have myself to blame, no one else.
How did we end up fighting anyway?

You know I used to search the sky and dream of where you were,
I need you by my side, we can end this together.
I know I promised you the world and still I let you down,
I need you by my side and together we'll end this now. As the last rays of sunlight fade, one killer chases another
through the tangled madness of the city.
A flash of steel announces the presence of his quarry,
the stage is set, the night explodes.

You killed her, you murderer.
You have stripped me of the one that I love.
Annabel, our Annabel,
you have no clue what she's capable of.

I'm scared to death and have myself to blame.
How did we end up fighting anyway?

You know I used to search the sky and dream of where you were,
I need you by my side, we can end this together.
I know I promised you the world and still I let you down,
I need you by my side and together we'll end this now.

You'd better look behind you.

Her youthful flesh colour had drained from her much like the very blood from her veins
on the bedroom she lied. Such a foul image for one to withhold.
In some twisted way it only seemed to enhance her exquisite beauty,
like a lily on a grave. I have failed. Once again I have let her down.
My poor sweet Annabel. You trusted me, you gave me your love, your soul,
now I fall to my knees in front of the man that took you from me.
I fall pathetic, defeated. I will be with you again so soon my love, so very soon.
The eyes of an angel await me and? I'll be damned if you think you can stop me now.

Sweetheart, darling,
turn around, it's me, follow my voice,
everything's gonna be okay.
My love, everything will be fine,
it's all over now.
