ALESANA LYRICS

"Fatima Rusalka"

Featuring Josh Grosscup of Megosh

[Intro (spoken):]
Born out of nothingness, defined by beauty and patience.
A tortured existence which leaves behind no answers.
Destined to suffer the struggle, cursed to be one of them, to be both of them.
Fatima Rusalka. [x2]

Somewhere between the chaos and the void in a desert that predates time itself,
Bereft of stars and untouched by the Gods of man.
There was only one. There was only her.

[Verse 1:]
Black echoes deafening silence
(She is born)
Spat upon the tortured earth
(All alone)
Cursed to never live
(Scarlet fiend)
Cursed to never die
(Condemned to breathe eternally)
Thirsting for an answer, starving for her purpose
But the sky holds his tongue as she waits
For the end
And it's not looking good at all

[Chorus:]
An anguished melody reveals to me a memory of love once lost
A quiet affliction, a moment of weakness
(Breathe and shut your eyes)
Finally, it all makes sense so naturally I am lost
When angels and devils make sense of the wreckage
(Unsung heroine, death won't set you free)

[Verse 2:]
Cautiously I softly fake a smile, it’s cold here at night
I'm trying to hide, dying to find myself
I should stop praying to no one
I can't stop searching for someone
Please just stop
(Sweetheart, it gets better than this)
I wish I could go, wish I could find a way
(I just want to see your face)
But now I'm starting to see how it all ends
And it's not looking good at all

[Chorus]
Immortality is your curse
(An orphan by God, and lost)

[Breakdown:]
You're an orphan by God, and lost
(An orphan by God) [x3]
So now it seems the sky has failed me
(This has been a terrible mistake)
I had one chance

[Josh Grosscup:]
(If you're looking for an answer)
Hold tight and never let me go
(If you're looking for an answer)
And the lies we said we'll bury with the rest
(If you're looking for an answer)
Oh, the senselessness of all this suffering
(If you're looking for an answer)
Feel it again and over again
(Let it begin)

[Intro (spoken)]

[Outro:]
Ageless warrior left to
Destroy mankind and reap the earth
We have to believe, trust
(That there is hope)
Useless prayers will be left to
Unveil the truth that all is lost
We have to believe, trust
(That there is hope) [x3]

Ageless warrior left to destroy mankind and reap the earth
We have to believe, trust that there is hope
Trust that there is hope [x2]
(It was never just a dream.)

Useless prayers will be left to unveil the truth that all is lost
We have to believe, we have to trust
Trust that there is hope

Unveil the truth, we have to trust that there is hope
(We have to trust that there is hope!)
(It was never just a dream.)

(Unveil the truth!
We have to believe!
We have to trust that there is hope!)
