Curse Of The Virgin Canvas Lyrics - Emptiness - Alesana

I am here to tell you a story 

A story that will torture your thoughts by day 

And poison your dreams by night 

And though I will do my best, there are no words that can be written 

Nor brush strokes laid on canvas that can describe the stark 

And utter horror of the night that Annabel died 

The emptiness will haunt you 

This is a nightmare, is my Annabel really gone? 

My eyes are stung by daylight, I find it hard to breathe 

Her body teases me as the sun reveals the dawn 

The smell of blood still crawls, I kiss you softly goodbye 

Baby, lay in my arms and cuddle me close 

Soon this will be just an awful memory 

Will I comfort, be able to sleep again? 

My angel, lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming 

Please wake me up, please wake me 

A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me 

Oh ecstasy, you torture me 

I watch the blood drip from the corners of your mouth 

Your icy flesh is lying, your pallid skin still glows 

I'm starting to believe what my eyes are seeing now 

You're still so beautiful and yet so morbidly still 

Baby, lay in my arms and cuddle me close 

Soon this will be just an awful memory 

Will I comfort, be able to sleep again? 

My angel, lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming 

Please wake me up, please wake me 

A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me 

Oh ecstasy, you torture me 

Sweet revenge, he will pay 

My, he will pay, dear 

Empty eyes accuse a face so 

Evil, I'm coming undone 

The mirror says it all 

A crimson story of innocence lost 

Empty eyes accuse a face so 

Evil, I'm coming undone 

So terribly memory returns of her struggle 

Of her screams, of her 

Lord forgive me 

My stomach heaves as I see the blood 

That covers me, blood that was once hers 

I'm a monster 

Such an awful memory 

Will I comfort, be able to sleep again? 

My angel, lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming 

Please wake me up, please wake me 

A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me 

Oh ecstasy, you torture me 

Sweet revenge, he will pay 

My, he will pay, dear 

A mirror never lies 

They know, everybody knows 

Do you not see what they see? 

A mirror never lies 

I see what they see 

Everybody knows, everybody knows
