Genre / aliran asli alesana sendiri adalah post-hardcore, namun banyak yang menyebutkan bahwa Alesana sebagai icon musik emo dengan sudut pandang yang berbeda-beda. Tapi yang jelas mereka menciptakan lirik lagu yang dalam.

lyric lagu Alesana_Ambrosia

A touch of poison seals my fate
The dawn echoes the night with my glory... the sun himself honors me

Once king of roses, now lord of gold
Blessed with the gift of gilded touch
The Gods themselves envy my hand
Fate wields its knife to cut the thread

I curse the day my dream became my descent
Suddenly, I long for you, my only love

In my perfection I have no want
A folly as fatal as sin
Yet eyes still glint with greed untold
Has now become the end of me

I curse the day my dream became my descent
Suddenly, I long for you, my only love

Have I not earned this, the gift of beauty within?
How selfish were the Gods to keep their riches from my rightful treasure?
I truly have become one of them... my fatal flaw

Oh yeah! I've got her hook, line, and sinker!
Thanks to me, she's her own new necklace
Now she's good as gold
Thanks to me, she's her own new necklace
Now she's good as gold

I curse the day my dream became my descent
Suddenly, I long for you, my only love
I curse the day my dream became my descent
Suddenly, I long for you, my only love...
Cut the thread

Alesana - Ambrosia

lyric lagu alesana the thespian

(Baby) why are you doing this to me
(Sweetheart) Are those your eyes staring straight back at me
(Angel) I see your smile everywhere
(Darling, stop)

Night falls
and I’m running in circles, oh
I’m being chased
by my imagination, oh

Tell me I’m forgiven say
you’ll always be mine
Say that everything is over,
tell me I’m fine
No one deserves to live like this! (x2)

I touch your lips
and stare in your eyes
You smile and it makes me fly
You are the reason my heart beats
Tonight it’s just you and me

Night as dark as my thoughts
sets the scene for my return
Lightning nips at my heels
as I race home
Wearily I stagger
towards the song of her pale voice
Demons jeer my attempt to be free

Tell me I’m forgiven say
you’ll always be mine
Say that everything is over,
tell me I’m fine
No one deserves to live like this! (x2)

I touch your lips
and stare in your eyes
You smile and it makes me fly
You are the reason my heart beats
Tonight it’s just you and me

Windows cast her gentle reflection
Her somber silhouette dances for me
Dear God, it’s her

Look at you, you miserable fool
Get off your knees,
your prayers fall upon deaf ears
Gods turned his back on you,
heavens gates are shut
And now you’re knocking
on the devil’s door

Ive been expecting you for some time, sir
Allow me to introduce myself
I’m the one who pulls on
all the strings, son
You’re lucky I don’t kill you
where you stand

Tonight I raise my glass
for I know its time to move on
(this can’t be real. there’s nothing left)
My patience will not last,
tomorrow I will be gone
