In the year 2005, A Stained Glass Romance re-formed itself from the ashes of ARIA, Winter Solstice, Stronghold and Splitcast. Combining over a decade of experience and sharing the stage with bands like Underoath, Between the Buried and Me, Every Time I Die, Atreyu, Hatebreed and Bleeding Through, ASGR has returned to re-claim what they started over five years ago.
Quoted as the metal-core gods back from the grave, A Stained Glass Romance has vigorously toured the past year securing thousands of new fans across the nation and simultaneously gaining back respect once thought lost in the overburdened North Carolina Hardcore scene. Playing with bands like Job for a Cowboy, Animosity, Goatwhore and Cattle Decapitation, ASGR has steadily gained an unswerving fan-base untapped by the current trends in hardcore.
Their independent endeavors include ARIA, Dirty South Revolutionaries, Daylight Tragedy, and Winter Solstice among others. After three years together, A Stained Glass Romance released their first recording in 2003 on Four Leaf Recordings. Recorded in the basement studio of Chris Kincaid (oneamazinkid, hopesfall), The Most Hated Ep gained the band a cult-like following early on with tracks like “Hurts Worse With a Spoon” and “Sixty-Six Bound Malibu”.
Current members include Scott (vocals), Mitch (guitar), Bill (bass), Taddeo (guitar) and Lance (drums).

A Stained Glass Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i want to know how you feel about the end
learn to shoot straight eyes are focused steady aim
make no mistake im watching and im waiting
breathless leaving you breathless
you are the one who is alone
gasping for the air
leaving you breathless
you are the one who is alone
gasping for the air
so make your move
try to make it count
so make your move
try to make is count
youre running out of time
move fast to stay alive
you better dig deep
the trench youre in keeps you safe
learn o shoot straight
eyes are focused steady aim
make no mistake
im watching and im waiting
breathless leaving you breathless
you are the one who is alone
gasping for the air
you never had a chance
leaving you breathless you are the one who is alone
gasping for the air
so make your move try to make it count
make your move try to make it count x2

gasping for air
you never had a chance
this is it this is it this is it
you´re running out of time
this is it this is it this it
gasping for air you never had a chance
