Lyrics for Helena as interpreted by Brandnizzle2k4

Helena Lyrics
Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you

Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know

And what's the worst you take
From every heart you break
And like the blade you stain
Well I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I could say
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold

And what's the worst you take
From every heart you break
And like the blade you stain
Well I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I could say
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Can you hear me
Are you near me
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide

What's the worst that I could say
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Yeah, the video's being taped on 1/6-1/8...i think it's a funeral theme. Which would be appropriate. Though this song isnt very much like the rest on this album, it's still awesome. I think it's awesome that they could take something that happened in their family and make it into a hit for the album.

you're right, this is about ger and mikeys granny. It's her rosary beads on the inside sleve of revenge.
They're planning on making a video for Helena next. its supposed to be like a backwards thing. like the burial then the wake, then the morge then the hospital, then the accident, to the person being alive.
Sound cool or what???

i think i am going to write a song for my granfather. he would probably hate the song but he would still support it just because he would. this song, my opinion, the best song on this album. it has amazing intensity in the chorus and the build up in just the words tonight to the chorus.

This song is fucking awesome. So is the rest of the CD. I met the band when the were on the Nintindo Fusion Tour when they were in Odessa Texas (Where I live). Theyre really cool people. Gerard is fucking hot. My mom talked to him for awhile. We have their autographs. Mine are pinned up on my wall. :P

The new video is fucking brilliant.

The choreographed dancing, the whole Gerard conducting thing, and the "waking up during prayer" bit is fantastic. Love it, see for yourselves soon.

I'm lucky enough to have a copy of the master video in Quick Time =)

I just got three cheers... and i'm already in love with this song.....

It's definately about the death of a loved one, but doesn't necessarily have to be Gerard's grandmother.

If you think about it, the first track of a concept album's gunna have something to so with the concept. So I think this is the girlfriend who dies before the dude makes the deal with the devil.

And I agree about the music, it doesn't -really- go with the lyrics, but somehow it fits.

xxxdaniellexxx, their grandmas name was Ellena, if you notice it says on the bottom of the slip thing in loving memory... she died durring the makeing of Three Cheerse. Gerard has also said that Helena is a little about their grandma but not completely.

Oh Yeah, and the video is FUCKING HOLY GERARD IN HEAVEN AWSOME!!!!!!! I cant wait till its official release on the 15. If anyone would like to see it before then its on my website http://miserablegrief.tk just make sure no record people find out or I'll be gettin sued ya here? XD
