HIM

Dark Light"

Shivers run through the spine
Of hope as she cries
the poison 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 oblivion's garden
Her body's on fire
Writhing 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

"Under The Rose"

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's 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

"Vampire Heart"

You can't escape the wrath of my heart
Beating to your funeral song (You're so alone)
All faith is lost 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 'till I feel your warmth

Hold me
Like you held on to life
When all fears came alive and entombed me
Love me
Like you love the sun
Scorching the blood in my vampire heart

I'll be the thorns on 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
Paint you my soul, scarred and alone
Waiting for your 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 love 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 love 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 love the sun)
Like you love the sun
(Scorching the blood in my)
My vampire heart

"Play Dead"

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

I stay dead
Until you veil my scars and say goodbye to fate
Before it's too late

"Drunk On Shadows"

Hiding underneath
The veil of broken dreams
We find her weeping

On her once white wings
She will 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 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 the struggling
For her love's
Last breath and walk off

Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie
Killing ourselves a 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 where we see nothing but a reflection of heaven too far away

Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie
Killing ourselves a at a time
Devils dance while angels smile
Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie
So alive
(Drunk on shadows)
So alive

n The Night-Side Of Eden"

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

"Venus (In Our Blood)"

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 damn the river of her dreams
Or understand the divine words she speaks

Venus denies your seven towers 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 seven towers 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 seven towers 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)

"The Cage"

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 cure 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

"Venus Doom"

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 worth dying for
And open your arms

[Chorus:]
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

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

[Chorus]

Hold me inside your infernal offering
Touch me as I fall
Don't lose yourself in this suffering yet
Hold on

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

Watch me fall for you
My venus doom
Hide my heart where all dreams are entombed
My venus doom
All tears are of you
My venus doom

"Love In Cold Blood"

Serpentine love's 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
Put me out of my misery

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

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

"Passion's Killing Floor"

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
the seeds of hatred are sewn
Back into darkness we flee
(To tear our hearts out)
We are saved 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

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)
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

Forever more. . .

"The Kiss Of Dawn"

Blinded I am
And so are you
By shedding tears
Confusion that separates us two
We hold dear

Just look into my eyes
Kiss our fears goodbye

I'm reaching for your shadow
Drowning in the of dawn
Touching the pain that you left me with
At the of dawn

I'm tired of the games
I'm playing with you
When you're not here
Death frees from the fear of dying
It's true, have no fear

Let me look into your eyes
And see death pass us by

I'm reaching for your shadow
Drowning in the of dawn
Touching the pain you left me with
At the of dawn

I'm reaching for your shadow
Drowning in the of dawn
Touching the pain you left me with
At the of dawn

I'm reaching for your shadow
Drowning in the of dawn

"Sleepwalking Past Hope"

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
And 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

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

"Dead Lover's Lane"

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 lover's 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

Crawl down dead lover's lane
The maze of memories stained
And suck the blood right out of my heart

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

Crawl down dead lover's lane,
The maze of memories stained
And suck the blood right out of my heart

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

Right out of my heart

"Songs Or Suicide"

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

"Bleed Well"

You had demons to kill within you screaming
With a gun loaded with guilt you opened their eyes

Love preys the living and praises the dead
In the heart of our hearts by death we were wed

Bleed well the soul you're about to sell for passion deranged
Kiss and tell, baby we're bleeding well
Bleed well the heart you're about to fail for reasons insane
Kill and tell, baby we're bleeding well'
'In hell

'No love lost under her will', I heard you weeping
And on those words a church was built to keep the pain in

If death is the answer to love's mysteries
Then bleed on my darling to the sound of a dream

Cyanide Sun"

Should've known how hard it is to stop tearing each other apart
Separating souls entwined with all these labyrinthine lies

I am dead to you, a shadow doomed
My love, forever in the dark
And of all untruths the truest is you
Too close to my heart

This emptiness I've made my home
Embracing memories of dreams long gone
One last caress from the corpse of love is all I want
Underneath the cyanide sun

We've sailed the seas of grief on a raft built with our tears
Looking for a way to disappear for a moment from our deepest fears

I'll be drowning you in this river of gloom
Forever in my heart

"In Venere Veritas"

Let's fall apart together now

Zipping Cupid in a body bag well-worn
Next to the mausoleum he was born in
Picking up the pieces of this gory glory of it all
From Eve to mo(u)rn
From Eve to mo(u)rn

Have no fear
There are wounds that are not meant to heal
And they sing, in venere veritas
Come inside
Let the fire burn you alive
And sing, baby sing
There are wounds that are not meant to heal at all
In venere veritas

Let's fall apart together now

There's a method to our sadness as we drag the mirrored ball and chain
Through the twilight again
Dressed up in shame

Have no fear
There are wounds that are not meant to heal
And they sing, in venere veritas
Come inside
Let the fire burn you alive
And sing, baby sing
There are wounds that are not meant to heal at all
In venere veritas

We are begging for a reflection from an unshuttered heart
To blind and chase us over the edge

Have no fear
There are wounds that are not meant to heal
And they sing, in venere veritas
Come inside
Let the fire burn you alive
And sing, baby sing
There are wounds that are not meant to heal at all
In venere veritas
These are wounds that are not meant to heal at all

Let's fall apart together now
Let's fall apart together now

"Scared To Death"

In the biblical sense and sensibility
let me know you
I'll that smile off your face
just say when

I'm not afraid to say 'I love you'
any more than I used to be, babe
I am scared to death, I am scared to death
to fall in love

All these pick-up lines from hell
Icebreakers infernal
from a heart so black and blue
only for you

(just say when, again)

I'm not afraid to say 'I love you'
any more than I used to be, babe
I am scared to death, I am scared to death
to fall in love
with you

I'm not afraid to say 'I love you'
any more than I used to be, babe
I am scared to death, I am scared to death
to fall in love

I'm not afraid to admit I adore you
any more than I was before, babe
I am scared to death, I am scared to death
to fall in love
with you

with you...

scared to death...

I'm scared to death..

And you're sweet like poison...

Heartkiller"

Farewell the heartless world
I'll send you a postcard burnt
in the flames you tried so hard to extinguish with fear of failing
I'll write down everything I've learned
And edit it down to a single word
Love, for you I'm waiting, anticipating

Sparks will fly beneath the Luna alight
Lazarus at Frankenstein's,
Babe I'll be a flatliner for a heartkiller
A little we die, above the lesser light
for you I'm open wide,
Babe I'll be a flatliner for a heartkiller

Top hats off to the return,
of the beat to lick a wound to
cursed for some and blessed for a few
It doesn't have to make any sense at all
Come hither and we'll fall
In love, for love
I'm crawling out of patience baby

Sparks will fly beneath the Luna alight
Lazarus at Frankenstein's,
Babe I'll be a flatliner for a heartkiller
A little we die, above the lesser light
for you I'm open wide,
Babe I'll be a flatliner for a heartkiller

Paint all your sorrows for me to sing
Heartkiller
Draw your pain and hear me hum it out

Sparks will fly beneath the Luna alight
Lazarus at Frankenstein's,
Babe I'll be a flatliner for a heartkiller
A little we die, above the lesser light
for you I'm open wide,
Babe I'll be a flatliner for a heartkiller

Dying Song"

I've seen you breathe life into the weakest of hearts
And heard you scream out loud the sweetest poem
Echoing across the ocean reminding me why I still try
To hold onto whatever is left of you and I

Shedding skin to a dying song
We hum along to the evening sun 'til we are no more
Little deaths to a dying song
Sound a lot like life

I've seen these dreams being crushed by a single thought
And felt the envy of sadness engulf all warmth
Barely alive under her eyes by exchanging sighs
With tomorrow quivering in the loneliest light

Shedding skin to a dying song
We hum along to the evening sun 'til we are no more
Little deaths to a dying song
Sound a lot like life and love
Life and love with you

Crawl back into bed
Tomorrow's is trembling
At the sight of you and I

Shedding skin to a dying song
We hum along to the evening sun 'til we are no more
Little deaths to a dying song
Sound a lot like life and love
Life and love
Life and love
Life and love with you
(Dying song)

Life and love
(A dying song) [x4]

With you...
Dying song

"Disarm Me (With Your Loneliness)"

A promise of heaven pushed us right back to hell
Turning three sevens into three sixes again
And you laughed at my face when I told you how much it hurts
And said

Disarm me with your loneliness
Just like always before
Deceive me out of my emptiness
Telling me how you love

You keep on tempting me to go on whatever the cost
To witness the prettiest flower in bloom wither to dust
So I'll break all the rules in this endless game once called love
For you

Disarm me with your loneliness
Just like always before
Deceive me out of my emptiness
Telling me how you love me with all your heart
No more

Disarm me with your loneliness
Just like always before

Disarm me with your loneliness
Just like always before
Deceive me out of my emmptiness
Telling me how you love
Me with all your heart
No more

Tell me how much it hurts my love?
(No more)
Tell me how my can change your world
(No more)
Tell me how much it hurts (more) to be alone
(No more)
Telling me that you love me with all your heart

No more

"Love, The Hardest Way"

Love's like the devil counting teardrops in the rain
To the sound of chalk board symphony played with nails
For what it's worth
I don't wanna see you hurt anymore
Than you have to

Dine on glass
Wine on blood
Baby, love the harder way
Baudelaire in Braille
Baby, love the harder way
Once you lose yourself entomb
I promise you to love the hardest way

Pretty like a flower on a tomb
You are kissed blue by the last arrows of the sun
Olyolyoxenfree
Hide and go weep
Oh, no more
Unless you want to

Dine on glass
Wine on blood
Baby, love the harder way
Baudelaire in Braille
Baby, love the harder way
Once you lose yourself entomb
I promise you to love the hardest way
Love the hardest way
Love the hardest way
Love the hardest way

Katherine Wheel"

Lo and behold, baby
These are the things you make me do
Katherine Wheel I'm burning for you
I'm burning for you

Come on and break me a limb at a time
Wrap me around your spokes so tight
There's no letting go
Spin me around to blur the line between you and I
What are you waiting for?

Lo and behold, baby
These are the things you make me do
Katherine Wheel I'm burning for you
Please don't stop until my heart no longer screams
Katherine Wheel
Katherine Wheel

Holding hands won't be enough
In a world giving head to a gun
Love in theory and practice
Chapter one

Lo and behold, baby
These are the things you make me do
Katherine Wheel I'm burning for you
Please don't stop until my heart no longer screams
Katherine Wheel
Katherine wheel

I twist and turn
Your arms swirl
The dizzier I get the clearer I see
With you I'm at peace with the war within

Lo and behold, baby
These are the things you make me do
Katherine Wheel I'm burning for you
Please don't stop until my heart no longer screams
Katherine Wheel
Katherine wheel

Lo and behold, baby
These are the things you make me do
Katherine Wheel I'm burning for you
Katherine Wheel I'm burning for you
Katherine Wheel I'm burning for you
Katherine Wheel
Katherine Wheel
I'm burning for you

"In The Arms Of Rain"

Once again we found ourselves to be lost
Holding hands while straying from the path in the forest dark
Aren't you happy to see me crawl serpentine towards the sun to you?

Lift the lid off your heart's casket in the arms of rain
Drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby stop, Hail Maries for the secret you kept from me
Hail Maries but tomorrow's dream
In the arms of rain we are free

Again, I fought myself and lost
Come bite the apple and I'll coil around your heart
I'm so happy to see you weep along in these arms you belong

Lift the lid off your heart's casket in the arms of rain
Drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby stop, Hail Maries for the secret you kept from me
Hail Maries but tomorrow's dream
In the arms of rain we are free

Ave Maria, we've tried
Ave Maria, we've cried
Ave Maria, we've died

Lift the lid off your heart's casket in the arms of rain
Drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby stop, Hail Maries for the secret you kept from me
Hail Maries but tomorrow's dream
In the arms of rain
Lift the lid off your heart's casket in the arms of rain
Drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain
Baby stop, Hail Maries for the secret you kept from me
Hail Maries
In the arms of rain we are free

It's the end of a road, hold me
It's the end of a road and we're free
