Daggers Speak Louder Than Words Lyrics

Eyes open to splattered blood
Cold tile mocks me as I arise
To find the knife
The knife is still in my back

Shifting thoughts now slow with venom
Take me as I stagger, is this all we were worth?
I've lost you for good without regret

Your once gentle words are bleeding from my eyes
Screams of terror now fill my every breath
I know you'll rue the day

You ever met me, I'll lay you down to sleep
When sorrow will bury the blade hilt deep
You know

I would have died for you
Now I'm forced to choose between
A life of revenge or regret
As I thirst for vengeance
My heart struggles to come to grips
Why would you leave me to die, turn, and walk away?

Alone, you stood so still

As you watched me break, did it now kill you too?
What has led you to the dagger, my friend?
You know

I would have died for you
Now I'm forced to choose between
A life of revenge or regret
As I thirst for vengeance
My heart struggles to come to grips
Why would you leave me to die, turn, and walk away?

Turn, and walk away
Turn, and walk away

My revenge is made so clear
Midst cold tears left with the betrayed
I'll see that you never forget this

I will hunt you down like a dog
Lies could never disguise
What I saw behind me in you

Remembering times we have shared
My friend for life is gone
Remembering times we have shared
(We'll let the embers serve as the only memory)
My friend for life is gone
(Of last days, so long ago)

Why would you leave me to die
Turn, and walk away?
Why would you leave me to die
After you had buried the dagger hilt deep?

You're dead to me

I would have died for you
Now I'm forced to choose between
A life of revenge or regret
As I thirst for vengeance
My heart struggles to come to grips
Why would you leave me to die?
You're dead to me
