ALESANA LYRICS - The Third Temptation Of Paris

"The Third Temptation Of Paris"



The horizon, now as dark as the crimes that brought them here,

Is filled with my impending dread...

My foolish actions will cost so many good men

Achilles has come...



A thousand sails approaching

Sent here in her name to reclaim the one I stole

And destroy the walls of Troy...



Desire leaves me numb to all the pain surrounding me

To all the pain surrounding me

Storms will arise to condemn me

I will not die before her eyes...

It ends tonight



Tragically I now must accept the penance I have earned

She is cursed and tonight we die

In the dawn of this, my end, I hold my sword true

I must let her go



A thousand sails approaching

Sent here in her name to reclaim the one I stole

And destroy the walls of Troy...



Desire leaves me numb to all the pain surrounding me

To all the pain surrounding me

Storms will arise to condemn me

I will not die before her eyes...

It ends tonight



It ends tonight

It ends tonight

It ends tonight

I am alone

Pain fills her eyes

I am alone



I must save my honor,

(Sacred and profane is our love in death)

I cannot let them win,

(Sacred and profane is our love in death)

The blood of many spills

(Sacred and profane is our love)

In death
