Heavy Hangs The Albatross

Heavy Hangs the Albatross - Alesana

I've made up my mind and I will be leaving

Leaving this cruel dark world for the soulless to share

But first

Women will shriek and watch their husbands bleed

Children will cry

Children will cry and watch their mothers die

Because tonight

Because tonight

Tonight we all go to hell

Why

I have to let go of what happened to my love

I am taking out on everyone else all the problems

I've brought on myself

When I made your heart melt

My belle we soon will meet again

There's nothing left for me to lose except confusion

I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away

There's no one left to talk me down

My feet are slipping

One day I hope my name won't bring back memories

Of the day that I left her

Goodbye so long

My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after

For better or even for worse remember me forever

Now the only question left is how to take you

All down with me

The coroner will have his hands full tonight

That is if he is not among the dead

Dead will choke the streets with such vulgarity

That grown men will weep

And then you will find the end is drawing night

There's nothing left for me to lose except confusion

I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away

There's no one left to talk me down

My feet are slipping

One day I hope my name won't bring back memories

Of the day that I left her

Goodbye so long

My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after

For better or even for worse remember me

There's sweat on my hands and a knife at my throat

And as the blade bites my skin Annabel appears

One day or I hope my name won't bring back memories

Of the day that I left her

Goodbye so long

My heart belongs to the one I am chasing after

For better or even for worse remember me forever
