scales are falling

Alter Bridge

This is a tale so dark and dim
Of wicked hearts, the minds of men
Who spin their lies and hurt their kin

Scales are falling, father
From my eyes like water
Is there no way to stop her?

She knows it comes with scorn and pain
A sacrifice she has to make
Her love won t let her stay away

Scales are falling, father
From my eyes like water
Is there no way to stop her?
Scales are falling harder

All of these years, so unclear, with no sign at all
That what we held dear, once revered
now is torn
God, what comes next?
I confess I am scared as hell
Blind with regret, what is left? Nothing more

Times were simple and we had it all
But that was shattered, now the joy is gone
Gone to waste and lost forever

Now she fears that this could be the end
For every moment she has left to give
I hope that you will remember
In the end, he made it way too hard
In the end, he went and broke her heart
What she had is lost forever

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Scales are falling, father
From my eyes like water
Is there no way to stop her?
These scales are falling harder

Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
