HIM

Again, the burden of losing rests upon my shoulders
And its weight seems unbearable
"Your tomb is where your heart is," I should have told her
But within me hid a secret so terrible

To cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile

The kiss of vanity blessed me with a spiritual murder
Fed the gods of war, insatiable
"Your home is where the dark is," I should have told her
Embraced the fire, indestructible

To die is to know that you're alive
And my river of blood won't run dry
I never wanted to lose you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
And if I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile

Oh, they say to cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And a deserted soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love

Love's the Funeral Of Hearts
and an ode for cruelty,
When angels cry blood
on flowers of evil in bloom,
The Funeral Of Hearts
and a plea for mercy,
when love is a gun
separating me from you.

She was the sun shining upon
the tomb of your hopes and dreams so frail,
He was the moon painting you
with its glow so vulnerable and pale.

Love's the Funeral Of Hearts
and an ode for cruelty,
When angels cry blood
on flowers of evil in bloom,
The Funeral Of Hearts
and a plea for mercy,
when love is a gun
separating me from you.

She was the wind carrying in
all the troubles and fears
you've for years tried to forget,
He was the fire
restless and wild and you were
like a moth to that flame.

The heretic seal beyond divine
Pray to God who's deaf and blind
The last rites for souls on fire
Three little words and a question why.

Love's the Funeral Of Hearts
and an ode for cruelty,
When angels cry blood
on flowers of evil in bloom,
The Funeral Of Hearts
and a plea for mercy,
when love is a gun
separating me from you.

The Funeral Of Hearts
and an ode for cruelty,
When angels cry blood
on flowers of evil in bloom

Oh, I see your scars
I know where they're from
So sensually carved and bleeding
Until you're dead and gone
I've seen it all before
Beauty and splendor torn
It's when heaven turns to black
And hell to white
Right to wrong and wrong to right

Now

Feel it turning your heart into stone
Feel it piercing your courageous soul
Beyond now?redemption
No one's going to catch you when you fall

Oh, I see you crawl
You can barely walk
With arms wide open
You keep on begging for more
I've been there before
Knocking on the same door
It's when hate turns to love
And love to hate
Faith to doubt and doubt to faith

Now

Feel it turning your heart into stone
Feel it piercing your courageous soul
Beyond now?redemption
No one's going to catch you when you fall

You're beyond now?redemption

Today
Tomorrow seems so far away
And the wait in vain

So safe
In the blinding light of love unchained
In yesterday's grave

The truth that could set souls free
Is buried within sweet pandemonium
Concealed by disbelief
The riddle stays veiled in sweet pandemonium

Afraid
That everything remains unchanged
In this fragile dream

Ashamed
Of the shattered remains of promises made

The truth that could set souls free
Is buried within sweet pandemonium
Concealed by disbelief
The riddle stays veiled in sweet pandemonium

Drained by the anger and grief

Fazed by the envy and greed

The secret cries for a release

The lucidity hidden deep in sweet pandemonium

The truth that could set souls free
Is buried within sweet pandemonium
Concealed by disbelief
The riddle stays veiled in sweet pandemonium
x2

There's a flame that leads your souls astray
No one's safe from its tender touch of pain
And every day, it's looking for new slaves
To celebrate the beauty of the grave

We are like the living dead
Sacrificing all we have
For a frozen heart and soul on fire
We are like the living dead
Craving for deliverance
With a frozen heart and soul on fire

And again, we're falling for disgrace
And hate will shelter us from the rain
Well we are enslaved by the sacred heart of shame
And gently raped by the light of day

We are like the...

Addicted to our divine despair
The venom of the cross we bear
The guilt will follow us to death
We are like the....

I hear you breathe so far from me
I feel your touch so close and real
And I know
My church is not of silver and gold,
Its glory lies beyond judgement of souls
The commandments are of consolation and warmth

You know our sacred dream won't fail
The sanctuary tender and so frail
The sacrament of love
The sacrament of warmth is true
The sacrament is you

I hear you weep so far from here
I taste your tears like you're next to me
And I know
My weak prayers are not enough to heal
The ancient wounds so deep and so dear
The revelation is our hatred and fear

You know our sacred dream won't fail
The sanctuary tender and so frail
The sacrament of love
The sacrament of warmth is true
The sacrament is you

The sacrament is you
The sacrament is you
The sacrament is you
The sacrament is you

You know our sacred dream won't fail
The sanctuary tender and so frail
The sacrament of love
The sacrament of warmth is true
The sacrament is you

(The sacrament is you)
You know our sacred dream won't fail
(The sacrament is you)
The sanctuary tender and so frail
(The sacrament is you)
The sacrament of love
The sacrament of warmth is true
The sacrament is you

This fortress of tears

No one can hurt you now
In this haven safe and sound
No one can save you now
From this grace you are drowning in
Just hold your breath on your way down

This fortress of tears
I've built from my fears for you
This fortress won't fall
I've built it strong for you

No one can free you now
From the chains around your heart
Don't be afraid now
Just dive in this emptiness
And hold your breath on your way down

This fortress of tears
I've built from my fears for you
This fortress won't fall
I've built it strong for you

No one can hurt you now
In this haven safe and sound
Just hold your breath on your way down

Heartache is knocking on her door
Shadows dance outside her window
Tears keep falling on the floor
As the world around her crumbles

If you want to save her
Then first, you have to save yourself
If you want to free her from the hurt
Don't do it with your pain
If you want to see her smile again
Don't show her you're afraid
Because your circle of fear is the same

Love can be as cold as grave
A one-way ticket to endless sorrow
An empire of gentle hate
Today without tomorrow

If you want to save her
Then first, you have to save yourself
If you want to free her from the hurt
Don't do it with your pain
If you wanna see her smile again
Don't show her you're afraid
Because your circle of fear is the same

It's the circle of regret
The circle of hate
The circle of death
The circle of fear is the same
Your circle of fear is the same

If you want to save her
Then first, you have to save yourself
If you want to free her from the hurt
Don't do it with your pain
If you want to see her smile again
Don't show her you're afraid
Because your circle of fear is the same

Your circle of fear is the same

Endless dark

Softly the light shines in through
Gates of grace on me and you
Deceiving our restless hearts
A flickering flame so serene
Devours the night so we could see
The fear we hold on to so strong

But I know where I belong
Away from your gods
That heal all wounds and light
This endless dark
Endless dark
This endless dark

Lonely the light shines on you
Through the gates of fire entombed
Feeding on your love
Weak is the blaze that kept me away
From cruelty and tenderness embraced
Saving my soul no more

And I know where I belong
Away from your gods
That heal all wounds and light
This endless dark
Endless dark
This endless dark

I know where I belong
Away from you gods
That heal all wounds and light
This endless dark

That shine on you and tame your burning heart
That buried my truth right into your arms
That worship the tomb of our forlorn love
That heal all wounds and light, this endless dark

There is no turning back from this unending path of mine
Serpentine and back it stands before my eyes
To hell and back, it will lead me once more
It's all I have as I stumble in and out of grace

I walk through the gardens of dying light
And cross all the rivers deep and dark as the night
Searching for a reason why time passes by

With every step I take, the less I know myself
Every vow I break on my way towards your heart
Countless times, I've prayed for forgiveness
But Gods just laugh at my face
And this path remains
Leading me into solitude's arms

I see through the darkness my way back home
The journey seems endless, but I'll carry on
The shadows will rise and they will fall
And our night drowns in gold

Amidst all the tears, there's a smile
That all angels greet with an envious song
One look into stranger's eyes
And I know where I belong

I walk through the gardens of dying light
And cross all the rivers deep and dark as the night
Searching for a reason why time would've passed us by

I see through the darkness my way back home
The journey seems endless, but I'll carry on
The shadows will rise and they will fall
And our night drowns in dawn

The shadows they rise and they fall

And the night drowns in dawn

The shadows they will rise and they will Fall

And the night drowns in dawn....

Baby, join me in death

We are so young
Our lives have just begun
But already, we're considering
Escape from this world

And we've waited for so long
For this moment to come
We're so anxious to be together
Together in death

Won't you die tonight for love?
Baby, join me in death
Would you die?
Baby, join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love?
Baby, join me in death

This world is a cruel place
And we're here only to lose
So before life tears us apart, let
Death bless me with you

Won't you die tonight for love?
Baby, join me in death
Would you die?
Baby, join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love?
Baby, join me in death

This life ain't worth living

Won't you die tonight for love?
Baby, join me in death
Would you die?
Baby, join me in death
Won't you die tonight for love?
Baby, join me in death

Baby, join me in death

It's poetry carved in flesh
This beautiful hell of ours
To the deadliest sin we confess
(Tears of joy fill our eyes)
We are safe where disfigured saints
Cry out their prophecies of doom

My heart's a graveyard, baby
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor

At the first kiss the seeds
Of hatred are sown
Back into darkness we flee
(To tear our hearts out)
We are safe where all faiths fail
Alive inside of our tomb

My heart's a graveyard, baby
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor

(Pulses unchecked
Everyone already is dead
All we know has been crucifered)

My heart's a graveyard, baby
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor

(My heart's a graveyard, baby)
Oh, my heart's a graveyard, baby
On our passion's killing floor
(In my arms, you won't sleep safely)
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor

Forevermore… that's right

Leave all behind now to watch her crawl
Through our dark gardens of insanity
She'll be the light to guide you back home
Just give her a kiss worth dying for?and open your arms

Watch me fall for you
My Venus doom
Hide my heart where all dreams are entombed
My Venus doom

Grieve all your hearts out as she'll writhe
Enthralled in tragic, ecstatic agony
And in her flames, we will die some more
Just show me a life worth living for?light up the dark

Watch me fall for you
My Venus doom
Hide my heart where all dreams are entombed
My Venus doom
(All dreams are of you?my Venus doom)

Serpentine loves thighs wrap around me in search for death
Drenched in blood, the adored and beloved will give in to

Love in cold blood; breathe me in sweet suffering
Love in cold blood

Love's feline eyes in darkness shine on her web
Demonized with divine insight, we draw our last breath

Love in cold blood; breathe me in sweet suffering
Love in cold blood; put me out of my misery
Love in cold blood; breathe me in sweet suffering
Love in cold blood

Darling, take me home to the castle made of skulls and bones
Sing me a song to remind me where I belong
In your arms, my love in cold blood

It's poetry carved in flesh
This beautiful hell of ours
To the deadliest sin we confess
(Tears of joy fill our eyes)
We are safe where disfigured saints
Cry out their prophecies of doom

My heart's a graveyard, baby
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor

At the first kiss the seeds
Of hatred are sown
Back into darkness we flee
(To tear our hearts out)
We are safe where all faiths fail
Alive inside of our tomb

My heart's a graveyard, baby
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor

(Pulses unchecked
Everyone already is dead
All we know has been crucifered)

My heart's a graveyard, baby
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor
In my arms, you won't sleep safely
And of lust we are reborn
On our passion's killing floor

(My heart's a graveyard, baby)
Oh, my heart's a graveyard, baby
On our passion's killing floor
(In my arms, you won't sleep safely)
And to evil we make love
On our passion's killing floor

Forevermore… that's right

I hid the keys to unlock love's heart
To hold you in my sweetest pain and suffering
Everything's unfair in our lust and war
Redemption beyond right and wrong

In our hearts, love keeps sweet-talking to despair
And goes on sleepwalking past hope
All is lost in this war
All we can do is to wail and weep to the saddest song
Sleepwalking past hope....

I unlit the light to embrace the dark
To be near but not to turn into you my darling
Forever we're lost in our souls' storm
Reflections of each other's faults

In our hearts, love keeps sweet-talking to despair
And goes on sleepwalking past hope
All is lost in this war
All we can do is to wail and weep to the saddest song
Sleepwalking past hope....

I gave up long ago
Painting love with crimson flow
Ran out of blood and hope
So I paint you no more

My hell begins from the 10th and descends to the circle
Six hundred threescore and six
And from there, I crawl beneath Lucifer's claws
Just for one last kiss...

In our hearts, love keeps sweet-talking to despair
And goes on sleepwalking past hope
All is lost in this war
All we can do is to wail and weep to the saddest song
Sleepwalking past hope

There's no hope....

Despair has a face and all these wounds remain unhealed
Blessed to kill and enslaved are all hearts around love's will
Thrilled to start all over again

Crawl down Dead Lovers' Lane
The maze of memories stained
And suck the blood right out of my heart

Fear has a name written on unhallowed ground with dead leaves
Those words never fail to feed the hunger that dreams
Our needs beyond God's grasp

Scream out love's name in vain
Embrace the pain again
And lose yourself alone in the dark
Dead Lovers' Lane

Scream out love's name in vain
Embrace the pain again
And lose yourself alone in the dark
And suck the blood right out of my heart

Dead Lovers' Lane
Right out of my heart
Dead Lovers' Lane

Sorrow rebuild me as I step out of the light
Misery strengthen me as I say my goodbyes



I heal my wounds with grief
And dream of you
And weep myself alive
