You can't escape the wrath of my heart
Beating to your funeral song (You're so alone) All faith is lust for hell regained And love dust in the hands of shame (Just be brave) Let me bleed you this song of my heart deformed And lead you along this path in the dark Where I belong until I feel your warmth Hold me like you held on to life When all fears came alive and entombed me Love me like you loved the sun Scorching the blood in my vampire heart I'll be the thorns in every rose You've been sent by hope (You'll grow cold) I am the nightmare waking you up From the dream of a dream of love (Just like before) Let me weep you this poem as Heaven's gates close And paint you my soul, scarred and alone Waiting for your kiss to take me back home Hold me like you held on to life When all fears came alive and entombed me Love me like you loved the sun Scorching the blood in my vampire heart Hold me like you held on to life When all fears came alive and entombed me Love me like you loved the sun Scorching the blood in my vampire HEART Hold me like you held on to life Like you held on to life When all fears came alive and entombed me My vampire heart Love me like you loved the sun Like you love the sun Scorching the blood in my, my vampire heart 02. Rip Out The Wings Of A Butterfly Music & lyrics by Ville Valo
Heaven ablaze in our eyes
We're standing still in time The blood on our hands is the wine We offer as sacrifice [Chorus] Come on, and show them your love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul, my love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul This endless mercy mile We're crawling side by side With hell freezing over in our eyes Gods kneel before our crime [Chorus] Come on and show, them your love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul, my love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul (Rip out the wings of a butterfly) Don't let go (Rip out the wings of a butterfly) For your soul [Chorus] Come on and show them your love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul, my love Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul (Rip out the wings of a butterfly) Don't let go (Rip out the wings of a butterfly) For your soul (Rip out the wings of a butterfly) Don't let go (my love) Rip out the wings of a butterfly For your soul 03. Behind The Crimson Door Music & lyrics by Ville Valo
Covered the carcass of time with flowers
To send the scent of blame to the grave Set the darkest thoughts on fire And watched the ashes climb to Heaven's gates We hide behind the crimson door While the summer is killed by the fall Alive behind the crimson door While the winter sings: "Your love will be the death of me" (Death of me) "Your love will be the death of me" Death served wine for lovers Brought from the world where devils reign And intoxicated angels with sorrow They witnessed in the eyes of their slaves We hide behind the crimson door While the summer is killed by the fall Alive behind the crimson door While the winter sings: "Your love will be the death of me" (Death of me) "Your love will be the death of me" We hide behind the crimson door While the summer is killed by the fall Alive behind the crimson door while the winter sings: "Your love will be the death of me" (Death of me) "Your love will be the death of me" We hide behind the crimson door While the summer is killed by the fall Alive behind the crimson door while the winter sings: "Your love will be the death of me" (Death of me) "Your love will be the death of me" We hide behind the crimson door We hide behind the crimson door We hide behind the crimson door We hide behind the crimson door 04. Killing Loneliness Music & lyrics by Ville Valo
Memories, sharp as daggers
Pierce into the flesh of today The suicide of love took away all that matters And buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart With the venomous kiss you gave me I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness) With the warmth of your arms you saved me, Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you The killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb I'm killing loneliness Nailed to a cross, together As solitude begs us to stay And we disappear in the lie, forever And denounce the power of death over our souls and secret words are said to start a war With the venomous kiss you gave me I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness) With the warmth of your arms you saved me Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you The killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb I'm killing loneliness (I'm killing loneliness) I'm killing loneliness With the venomous kiss you gave me I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness) With the warmth of your arms you saved me Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you The killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb I'm killing loneliness I'm killing loneliness with you I'm killing loneliness with you Killing loneliness with you Killing loneliness with you Killing loneliness Killing loneliness 05. Dark Light Music & lyrics by Ville Valo
Shivers run through the spine
Of hope as she cries The poisoned tears of a life denied In the raven-black night Holding hands with Dark light Come shine in her lost heart tonight And blind All fears that haunt her with Your smile Dark Light In oblivions garden Her body's on fire Writhing to towards the angel defiled To learn how to die In peace with her god Dark light Come shine in her lost heart tonight And blind All fears that haunt her with Your smile Dark Light 06. Drunk On Shadows Music & lyrics by Ville Valo
Hiding underneath
The veil of broken dreams We find her weeping On her once white wings She'll be carrying the weight of our deeds And she bleeds for love Forever gone Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie Killing ourselves a kiss at a time Devils dance while angels smile Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie Finding souls to feed The nightside of Eden We see her struggling For her love's Last breath and walk off Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie Killing ourselves a kiss at a time Devils dance while angels smile Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie She's blinded by the fear Of life and death and everything in between We smile when she cries a river of tears A mirror we see nothing but a reflection of heaven so far away Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie Killing ourselves a kiss at a time Devils dance while angels smile Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie So alive (Drunk on shadows) So alive 07. Under The Rose Music & lyrics by Ville Valo
I dream of the winter in my heart turning to spring
While the ice gives way under my feet And so I drown with the sun I've been burning in water and drowning in flame To prove you wrong and scare you away I admit my defeat and want back home In your heart under the rose I open my eyes with a sigh of relief As the warmth of summer sunlight dances around me And I see you with dead leaves in your hands I've been burning in water and drowning in flame To prove you wrong and scare you away I admit my defeat and want back home In your heart under the rose (Repeat 3x) Your heart under the rose Your heart under the rose Your heart under the rose Your heart under the rose 08. Play Dead Music & lyrics by Ville Valo
A moth into a butterfly
And a lie into the sweetest truth I'm so afraid of life I try To call your name but I'm Silenced by the fear of dying in your heart once again I see the seasons changing And in the heart of this autumn I fall With the leaves from the trees I play dead To hide my heart Until the world gone dark fades away I cry Like god cries the rain And I'm just one step away From the end of today I see the reasons changing And in the warmth of the past I crawl Scorched by the shame I play dead To hide my heart Until the world gone dark fades away And I stay dead Until you veil my scars and say goodbye to fate Before it's too late Before it's too late I play dead To hide my heart Until the world gone dark fades away I stay dead Until you veil my scars and say goodbye to fate I play dead To hide my heart Until the world gone dark fades away Before it's too late 09. Face Of God Music & lyrics by Ville Valo
I'm drained but aching for more
And the devil inside is reading The words of the saddest poem To be engraved on the stone of my grave I'd kill to share your pain (And carry the shame) And sell my soul for you just to say I dream what you're dreaming And feel what you're feeling Love's our shadow on the wall With the face of god Nothing will be enough For the ones who keep on stumbling In the garden of withering trust We found the courage to leave Oh I'd take my life for your kiss (Grant me my wish) And lose it all to take you across the abyss I dream what you're dreaming And feel what you're feeling Love's that shadow on the wall With the face of god You dream what I'm dreaming And see what I'm seeing Love's our shadow on the wall With the Face of God Labyrinth in a shape of a heart Love's secret architecture I find myself to be lost in the Arms of your fate I'd kill to share you pain (please let me) And sell my soul for you just to say Love's name in vain Again and again I dream what you're dreaming And feel what you're feeling Love's our shadow on the wall With the face of god You dream what I'm dreaming And see what I'm seeing Love's our shadow on the wall With the face of god Love's our shadow on the wall With the face of (Face of) The face of (Face of) God (Face of) God 10. In The Night Side Of Eden Music & lyrics by Ville Valo
Divided we stand in the light of a frozen sun
Cursing the gods we have become We steal the fire from a sacred heart And bleed the wine unholy We fall in love with the serpent's song And fear nothing In the nightside of Eden We're born again dead Forever we are Forever we've been Forever we'll be crucified to a dream In the nightside of Eden Deranged, we're tearing away the petals of desire Learning the mathematics of evil by heart We deceive ourselves to start a war Within the realm of senses And descend to the circle number four Where we are nothing In the nightside of Eden We're born again dead Forever we are Forever we've been Forever we'll be crucified to a dream In the nightside of Eden 11. Venus (In Our Blood) Music & lyrics by Ville Valo
Her heaven's a lie to those who threw away the key
Her god is alive and well when the higher believes And you can't bend the river of her dreams Or understand the divine words she speaks Venus denies your severing tides above dark waters You can't quench her thirst with the fear hiding away from the day Venus denies you in your dark waters The moon kissed the sun and now we hold her in our blood Her savior was never on a cross pierced with nails Thirty pieces of silver never retraced her mistake She'll always be free from the arms of your sins That made you weak as your world started crumbling Venus denies your severing tides above dark waters You can't quench her thirst with the fear hiding away from the day Venus denies you in your dark waters The moon kissed the sun and now we hold her in our blood (She's in our blood) Venus denies your severing tides above dark waters You can't quench her thirst with the fear hiding away from the day The Venus denies you in your dark waters The moon kissed the sun and now we hold her in our blood In our blood In our blood In our blood (She's in our blood) 12. The Cage Music & lyrics by Ville Valo
For years I've seen you fighting
Against your heart Living like you're dying So far from the sun Waiting for a guardian angel To lead you through the dangers That lie ahead on your way Towards tomorrows arms Tears have turned from sweet to sour And hours to days You're hiding yourself away From our cruel world's embrace And as your days turn to weeks You'll cry yourself to sleep In the cage We all have our fears but yours are The scariest of them all Lift your head and let us taste The horror you adore And it all starts to makes sense All the blood wisely shed Just wait until the truth comes Knocking on your door Tears have turned from sweet to sour And hours to days You're hiding yourself away From our cruel world's embrace And as your days turn to weeks You'll cry yourself to sleep In the cage you're locked in Tears have turned from sweet to sour And hours to days You're hiding yourself away From our cruel world's embrace And as your days turn to weeks You'll cry yourself to sleep In the cage And as your days turn to weeks You'll cry yourself to sleep In the cage you've locked yourself in |
