The Dagger Lyrics by Roadrunner United

The All-Star Sessions

2005

[Intro: Howard Jones]
Yeah

[Refrain: Howard Jones]
Your tongue is a dagger
And I am bleeding
My faded dreams were all for you
And with one word
And with just one word
Choking the life, I breathe my last
And with one look
And with just one look
You hold the key to this heart of glass

[Verse 1: Robb Flynn]
This is the withering
I'm aging years in moments
This is the path that leads
To my demise

[Refrain: Howard Jones & Robb Flynn]
Your tongue is a dagger
And I am bleeding
My faded dreams were all for you
And with one word
And with just one word
You've shattered my world and crushed my soul
And with one look
And with just one look
The rising sun has never felt so cold (Oh)

[Verse 2: Robb Flynn]
This is the suffering
The echoes of your voice haunt
This faded memory
Is my demise
Oh

[Refrain: Howard Jones]
Your tongue is a dagger
And I am bleeding
My faded dreams were all for

[Chorus: Howard Jones, Howard Jones & Robb Flynn]
And I feel this all too slow
And I've been here for so long
And I feel so empty
As you walk away

[Bridge: Howard Jones & Robb Flynn]
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Howard Jones & Robb Flynn]
(I would give it all away) I would give it all away
(For the chance to shine again) For the chance to shine again
(I would freely pay the price) I would freely pay the price
(For the touch of your hand) For the touch of your hand

[Chorus: Howard Jones, Robb Flynn, & Both]
And I feel this all too slow (Slow)
And I've been here for so long (Long)
And I feel so empty
As you walk away

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Howard Jones & Robb Flynn]
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you become?
What have you–
(Living a lie) All is lost
We are left with sorrow
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you become?
What have you–
(Living a lie) All is lost
We are left with sorrow
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you–
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you–
