Lyrics Beyond the Sacred Glass - Alesana

I am willing to give
Whatever it takes
I am willing to give
Whatever it takes
I am willing to give
Whatever it takes

Quietly I am screaming for help
I calm down and steady myself
Collapse to the ground, when I realize I can't breathe
Could this be happening?

All the walls are closing in on me
And confusion makes it hard to see
Still my pounding heart is bleeding for you

(I know the truth...)
And I start to sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat
(Why the hell am I here?)
I start to sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat
(Have I succumbed to fear?)

Why, am I trying the undying?
(A ghost of such elegance!)
Oh why, am I racing to be facing
(A vision of something so perfect!?)

I am willing to give whatever it takes
To find forgiveness for my mistakes
So I'm going to take a chance
And invite the unknown to a deadly dance

I have laid eyes on you
And yet it does not seem as if the earth moved

(I know the truth)
And I start to sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat
(I will have you tonight!)
I start to sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat
(You will be mine tonight!)

Why am I trying, the undying?
(A ghost of such elegance!)
Oh why, am I racing to be facing
(A vision of something so perfect!?)

I am willing to give whatever it takes
To find forgiveness for my mistakes
So I'm going to take a chance
And invite the unknown to a deadly dance

(As I rise to conquer the demons!)
(I sense that the darkness awaits!)

(That road I walk is paved with a thousand unmarked graves)
(That road I walk is paved with a thousand unmarked graves)
(That road I walk is paved with a thousand unmarked graves)

I am willing to give whatever it takes
To find forgiveness for my mistakes
So I'm going to take a chance
And invite the unknown to a deadly dance

I am willing to give whatever it takes
To find forgiveness for my mistakes
So I'm going to take a chance
And invite the unknown to a deadly dance

(As I rise to conquer the demons!)
(I sense that the darkness awaits!)
