A Gilded Masquerade Lyrics
As the water drips from the sky, I start to wonder.
If I'm still alive then I have to find an answer.
Could it be that it was a dream and I'm still beside her?
Right before my eyes rain just drips and dries.
The water stops.
Wickedness will rain and drown us in her sorrow.
(Sorrow!) We will drown!
If I hope to survive I must think faster, I'm loosing ground.
Should I pull back her veil?
You had the best of me.
The best of me!
All that glitters is not gold.
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness.
(You had me convinced!) You had me convinced that together we could fly.
Until I started scrathching at the surface.
Your body is your masqerade!
Your body is an illness.
Temples crashing down all around me, heading
(heading!) towards the street!
The golden city falls.
And with it our lives go up in flames.
Should I pull back the veil?
You had the best of me (now taste the worst!)
All that glitters is not gold.
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness.
(You had me convinced!) You had me conviced that together we could fly.
Until I started scratching at the surface.
And your body is your masquerade!
Your body is an illness.
All shall be revealed.
We'll be watching you farther.
My blood runs cold.
There's no need to feel alone.
I feel alone but strong.
???????.......
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?!
Yeah!
Hey! x16
I pull back the veil.
You had the best of me (now taste the worst!)
All that glitters is not gold.
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness.
(You had me convinced!)You had me convinced that together we could fly.
Until I started scratching at the surface.
And your body is your masquerade!
Your body is an illness.
............................................
I may never be the same again.

This is about the protagonist, the Artist. In the story he's running from a temptress. She's chasing him through the streets of a golden city. He looks back and he can hear her laughing. But not a woman's laugh but "angry, hungry, gutteral." He's questioning if he should turn around and face her... and pull back the veil. Her evil laughter reminds him of the Fiend another antagonist in the story. I'm guessing that the temptress and the fiend are one and the same. It doesn't really make it clear. The temptress made him feel invincible till he saw that she was a monster.
hey, some lines are wrong.

I want to know the meaning, the song is amazing. Alesana <3
The entire album is completely based off the book Dante's Inferno. So each song pertains to book. (:

true statement ^
Some lyrics are still wrong:
"Right before my eyes, such a big surprise..." should be... "Right before my eyes, a tragic surprise..."
"And your body is a masquerade..." should be... "And I saw beyond your masquerade..."
"Who shall be made clear?" should be... "All shall be made clear"
Almost the entire part after that is wrong as well... It should be...
(We've been watching you, wanderer) My blood runs cold (There's no need to run furthur) I fear I know the truth (Come into our arms, brother) I tear back the cowl and stare into my own eyes (Now we can be one forever) Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
I don't know what this song is about but the album is based on Dante's Inferno.
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness. You had me convinced that together we would fly
This part sounds like the lust circle to me.
