Symphony X – Dressed To Kill lyrics
Dark desires of the cynic queen
laugher echoes her name
He feels his breath decay
Opens the past to an empty page
Watch his life drain away
Arrival - dressed to kill, scarlet memories
Watching and waiting for curtains to fall
Arrival - dressed to kill, it's a tragedy
Could you feel sympathy or pain?
In a desolate room, the canvas bleeds
He slides through his chair
rendered prince of fools
Dire thoughts of her begotten son,
Watch his life drain away
Watch his life fade away
Arrival - dressed to kill, scarlet memories
Watching and waiting for curtains to fall
Arrival - dressed to kill, it's a tragedy
Could you feel sympathy or pain?
[solo]
Arrival - dressed to kill, scarlet memories
Watching and waiting for curtains to fall
Arrival - dressed to kill, it's a tragedy
Could you feel sympathy or pain?
5. Of Sins and Shadows (4:56)
[Music: Romeo, Pinnela/Lyrics: Miller]
Passing through the void
The darkest grand illusion
Chaos is riding on the wind
Destroyed in agony
They create a maddened lair
Summon all to heed their cry
Innocence fading away
- the dying eyes of prey
[Chorus]
Desperate cries, hail of fire deciding
All our fate in the night
Tempt in sin, shadows then begin to
Gather the souls they hold within
Victims of desire
Pestilence of their invasion
Forms then take on evil waves
Paralyze, victimize
The shadows fall and enter fast
from the sky - (from the sky)
Summon all to heed their cry
Innocence fading away
- the dying eyes of the prey
[Chorus]
I've betrayed - slowly fade
I repent my inner plea
I've denied - sanctified
Cannot hide form this
monstrosity
I'm immersed in a curse
Of this jaded imagery
Realize that your cries
Only jeopardize this legacy
[SOLO]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
6. Sea of Lies (4:18)
[Music: Romeo, Pinnella, Miller/Lyrics: Allen]
Today I've seen the shallow face I wear
Inside this shell,
a living hell endures
I'm held captive by my fear,
decaying hope and wasted years
The knife of time carves another
line around these eyes
Good and evil - lust primeval
Dragging me into a sea of lies
Losing faith in who I am
Never changing just rearranging
my life again
Through into an eternal abyss I fall,
Silent screams through paper walls
I pray someday the sun will shine
on me again (shine on me again)
Good and evil - lust primeval
Dragging me into a sea of lies
Lies ... lies ...
[SOLO]
Lies ... lies ...
