Daggers Speak Louder Than Words

Lyrics

[Intro: Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Adam Ferguson] Eyes open to splattered blood Cold tile mocks me as I arise To find the knife is still in my back [Verse 1: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Adam Ferguson, Adam Ferguson] 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 [Verse 2: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee & Adam Ferguson] Your once gentle words are bleeding from my eyes Screams of terror now fill my every breath I know you'll rue the day [Verse 3: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] You ever met me, I'll lay you down to sleep When sorrow will bury the blade hilt deep [Pre-Chorus: Adam Ferguson] You know [Chorus: Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] 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? [Post-Chorus: Dennis Lee] Turn and walk away [Verse 4: Shawn Milke, Adam Ferguson & Dennis Lee] 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? [Pre-Chorus: Adam Ferguson] You know [Chorus: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] 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? [Post-Chorus: Dennis Lee, Adam Ferguson & Shawn Milke] Turn and walk away (Turn and walk away; turn and walk away) [Verse 5: Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Adam Ferguson] My revenge is made so clear Midst cold tears left with the betrayed I'll see that you never forget this [Verse 6: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Adam Ferguson] I will hunt you down like a dog Lies could never disguise What I saw behind me in you [Bridge: Shawn Milke & Melissa Milke] 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? [Pre-Chorus: Dennis Lee] You're dead to me [Chorus: Adam Ferguson, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] 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? [Outro: Dennis Lee] You're dead to me
