01. Borellus

Music by HIM
Lyrics by Ville Valo
Essential Salts of animals may
Be so prepared and preserved
That an ingenious man
May have the whole Ark of Noah in his own
Study and raise the fine shape of an animal
Out of its ashes at his pleasure

Unhappy is he to whom the memories of childhood
Bring only fear and sadness
Old years of play
Wretched is he who looks back upon lone hours
In vast and dismal chambers
With brown hangings
And maddening rows of antique books

Watch them in twilight groves
Oh in twilight groves
Oh in twilight groves

By method from the essential salts of humane dust
A philosopher may call up the shape of any dead ancestor
From the dust where into his body has been
Incinerated incinerated incinerated

You're under pressure baby
Christ has returned he's returning
In every new born child
In every new born child

You're under pressure baby
Christ has returned he's returning
In every new born child
In every new born child
In every new born child

Essential Salts of animals may
Be so prepared and preserved
That an ingenious man
May have the whole Ark of Noah in his own
Study and raise the fine shape of an animal
Out of its ashes at his pleasure

You're under pressure baby
Christ has returned, he's returning
In every new born child
In every new born child

You're under pressure baby
Christ has returned, he's returning
In every new born child
In every new born child

02. Serpent Ride

Music by HIM
Lyrics by Ville Valo
I!m on the wings of a dream
Then she arise
Oh, she comes to me
Fills me with lies
It was the dark side of the moon
We climb
She sends me a tune
Away through the silverst star lights

I don't want to wake up this time
I'm alive on this serpent ride

In the grace of our love
We whrite in pain
Rather into this solar fog
Where is the rise
The crop of her love tastes like wine
I answer her call with a rhyme

That is not dead which can eternal lie
Yet with strange aeons death may die

In your eyes lies the world where i don't wanna go
Said you changed but i don't believe in miracles
Since you conquered my heart will never been apart
One day we'll close our eyes open them again
And discover each other

Sun open up my eyes
She trapped me inside
From her lips close

03. The Heartless

Music by HIM
Lyrics by Ville Valo
Your pain ain't love!

Can't you see he's the heartless
Your pain is not love
He's taking it too far
Don't you know it is wrong
You're the one for me lady
You are the one
If you'd only see in my heart
You'd know all is not lost

Your time is running out
And you still haven't made up your mind
Can't you see he's the heartless
And you're one of a kind

He's the heartless
The heartless...
The heartless...
He's the heartless
The heartless...
The heartless...

You can't see he's the heartless
Your pain won't ever be love
It doesn't matter how hard you try
To you all is lost

He's the heartless
The heartless...
The heartless...
He's the heartless
The heartless...
The heartless...
