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 it's 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) [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/alesana/ambrosia.html ]
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!
Thanks to me, she's her own new necklace!
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
Wow... If you knew anything about mythology you would know this song is sung from the point of king midas, who turned everything he touched into gold, and how he regrets touching the woman he loved into gold...

Hmm um well i think the title is a greek methology reference and i think the song is about maybe comparimg himself to king midas? But adding a twist like the way they added a backstory to the annabel lee poem(the emptiness) maybe he has everything he wants and hes powerful ad wealthy almost perfect but he meets a girl who means more to him than his power and money and she back stabs him? I dunno thats the way i see it :p i can definetly be wrong
This is about king madis who thinks he is better then everything even the sun so he is cursed, at first he thinks itd a power, that evrrything turns to gold. His whle castle is gold and he is praised and people look up to him. Once night in affection for the love of his daughter he touches her and she turns to gold. He begs apollo to take back his wish butthe daughter remains a gold pice of gold.. Even the great will fall.
I wrote this song and i can scream it any time dfgdfgdfghdfhjgfghjktrgytyhjgfjkghtyktyhghjkgh54jgr1h2gh6jgf 984j89gh2j69h5kgh4k9j1l9tyujtyigtjuhyuktyijyukyujty.. Jtylpj.plt,joktm,jklty,kjh,tyklj,lpty,juolty,. Jtojk,troji,ot k,jop,op,[
This is bout king midas he had all this gold but he wnted more he mnade fun of the sun saying its not as good as it thinks so apollo comes down and grants midas a wish. Of course midas wishes for the golden touch. He goes around skippin and touching everything and making it gold. He goes to his garden(he had a huge garden of roses thts where "once king of roses, now lord of gold" comes from) and he makes the roses gold and thinks theyre beautiful but his daughter doesnt think so. He tries to comfort her but turns her into gold. He just goes and has lunch. But he discovers tht everything he touches does turn into gold. His cup, plate, utensils, and even his food and drink. So now he cnt eat. He basically has nothing now cus his daughter is gold and he cnt eat which is where the "i curse the day my dream became my descent" and the "a touch of poison seals my fate" is where apollo plays the trick on him by granting the wish cus apollo knew what midas would wish for so he turned it on him.in the end midas begs for apollo to take backthe wish . He does but midas gets donkey ears. Everything is fine and he does not die hehe i luv this song
One more thing, "blood" can also be gold.. Which makes much more sense "my dessert... Served with gold... I long for you, my only love"
Because when he had been eating his first meal, thats when it all went downhill. He realized the grave mistake he had made.. When he realized that his dessert ended up being just a bunch of gold he could'nt eat...
The part that says "i curse the day my dream became my descent
suddenly i long for you, my only love".. Can also be interpreted as "i curse the day my dream became my dessert, served with blood, i long for you, my only love"
However i presonally believe both is being said at once. K flame me pplz.
