The coals thereof are coals of fire, Which hath a most vehement flame.

[6x] You're the one for me lady, together we shall be 'till the end And if the sun comes down when you're not around it will surely put me through hell You're the one for me lady, together we shall be 'till the end And if the sun comes down when you're not around it will surely put me through hell Don't listen to the one with no heart he's tearing you apart He won't ever let you go, do you know what that means He's not the man of you're dreams if he's the one with no heart and he's tearing you apart 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 I'm waiting, I'm waiting, waiting, waiting You're pain isn't love [Chorus] He's the heartless...

Come on baby...don't fear the reaper

11. Don't Close Your Heart

I know how it feels to be on your own In this cruel world where hearts are bound to turn to stone Where you are alone And tired of breathing It's all going wrong And you just can't stand the pain any more You're too numb to believe in In anything Baby just don't close your heart Baby just don't close your heart Baby just don't close your heart Darling don't let me down I know how easy it is to let go Surrender to despair lurking at your door To lose your soul and all your feelings Strength all gone And so many things left unsaid And deeds undone

1. Buried Alive By Love

Again the burden of losing rest Upon my shoulders And its weight seems unbearable Your tomb is where your heart is, I should've 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 And fed the gods of war insatiable Your tomb is where the dark is, I should've told her And 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 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

2. The Funeral Of Hearts

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 A prayer to a 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

3. Beyond Redemption
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 splendour torn It's when heaven turns to black and hell to white Right so wrong and wrong so right Now Feel it turning your heart into stone Feel it piercing your courageous soul

You're beyond redemption And no one's gonna catch you when you fall Oh I see you crawl you can barely walk And 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 You're beyond redemption And no one's gonna catch you when you fall

4. Sweet Pandemonium
Today tomorrow seems so far away An the wait in vain, yeah So safe, in the blinding light of love unchained In yesterday's grave, yeah 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, yeah Ashamed of the shattered remains Of promises made, yeah 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 Faized 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

5. Soul On Fire
There's a flame That leads all souls astray No one's safe From its tender touch of pain And everyday 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 a soul on fire We are like the living dead Craving for deliverance With a frozen heart and a soul on fire And Again We're falling for disgrace And hate Will shelter us from the rain We are enslaved By the sacred heart of shame And gently raped By the light of day We are like the living dead Sacrificing all we have For a frozen heart and a soul on fire We are like the living dead Craving for deliverance With a frozen heart and a soul on fire Addicted to our divine despair The venom of the cross we bear The guilt will follow us to death We are like the living dead Sacrificing all we have For a frozen heart and a soul on fire We are like the living dead Craving for deliverance With a frozen heart and a soul on fire

With a soul on Soul on Soul on Fire Soul on fire Soul on fire

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

8. Circle Of Fear
Heartache's knocking on her door Shadows dance outside her window Tears keep falling on the floor As the world around her crambles If you wanna save her Then first you'll have to save yourself If you wanna 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 'Cause 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 wanna save her Then first you'll have to save yourself If you wanna 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 'Cause your circle of fear is the same It's the circle of regret The circle of hate The circle of death Your circle of fear is the same Your circle of fear is the same If you wanna save her Then first you'll have to save yourself If you wanna 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 'Cause your circle of fear is the same Your circle of fear is the same

9. Endless Dark
Softly the light shines in through The 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 our wounds And light 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 And I know where I belong Away from your gods That heal all wounds And light this endless dark That shine on you and tame your burning heart That bury my truth right into your arms That worship the tomb of our forlorn love

10. The Path

There is no turning back From this unending path of mine Serpentine and black 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 would've passed us by With every step I take The less I know myself And 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 dawn Amidst all the tears there's a smile 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 and they fall Yeah And our night drowns in dawn

11. Love's Requiem

Confusion writhes around our hearts impatiently It drains the faith that lights the dark and sets us free From the chains of our war And the pain we once called love The poison of doubt enslaves our minds and we bleed We abandon the trust that kept us blind and disappear Under the crimson wings of hate Where the lost are safe until they love again The heart of darkness is hope of finding you there And that hope will be our love's requiem We pray to the serpent of delight desperately The questions are answered and we try not to weep Until we are sure We're suffering for love In the dungeon of our dreams we're so weak The promise made to be broken still haunts our sleep And we won't open our eyes Afraid we would die for love again The heart of darkness is hope of finding you there And that hope will be our love's requiem The salvation we seek will be waiting us there In the heart of darkness lonely and scared With a promise of death for our love And now that we're free From the chains of our dear love I'm lost So lost The heart of darkness is hope of finding you there And that hope will be our love's requiem Take me into your arms And sing me your beautiful song Hold me until we're one And sing me you're beautiful song

I did it all just for her I did it all just for her And love's heart is death For me and my poison girl A prey she was for the cruelty of love While its serpent inside crawled straight towards her heart The coldest kiss love ceased to exist While we grew apart like never before I did it all just for her I did it all just for her And love wants us dead Just me and my poison girl I did it all just for her I did it all just for her And love's heart is death

For me and my poison girl The fire in her eyes Grew dim and then died As the poison inside Reached her heart And the coldest kiss Faith ceased to exist As we grew apart Like never before I did it all just for her I did it all just for her And love wants us dead Just me and my poison girl I did it all just for her I did it all just for her And love's heart is death For me an d my poison girl And the taste of the poison on her lips is of a tomb I did it all just for her I did it all just for her And love wants us dead Just me and my poison girl I did it all just for her I did it all just for her And love's heart is death For me and my poison girl Poison Poison Poison Poison girl girl girl girl

And love's heart is death For me and my poison girl In this poison world

15. Pretending
Love is a flame that can't be tamed

And though we are its willing prey, my darling We are not the ones to blame Trust is a word all lovers know The glorious art of staining souls, my darling We are not the ones to blame The more we have the more we want And the more it hurts our hearts, my baby It always ends up in tears So keep on pretending Our heaven is worth the waiting Keep on pretending it's alright So keep on pretending It will be the end of our craving Keep on pretending It's alright When doubts arise the game begins The one we will never win, my baby It always ends up in tears... So keep on pretending Our heaven is worth the waiting Keep on pretending it's alright So keep on pretending It will be the end of our craving Keep on pretending It's alright So keep on pretending Our heaven is worth the waiting Keep on pretending it's alright So keep on pretending It will be the end of our craving Keep on pretending It's alright Love is a flame that can't be tamed And though we are its willing prey, my darling We are not the ones to blame

16. When Love And Death Embrace

1. Vampire Heart
You can't escape the wrath of my heart Beating to your funeral song All faith is lust for hell regained And love dust in the hands of shame 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 am the thorns in every rose, you've been sent by hope I am the nightmare waking you up from the dream of a dream of love 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

2. Rip Out The Wings Of A Butterfly

Heaven ablaze in your eyes We're standing still in time The blood on our hands is the wine We offer as sacrifice 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 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

3. 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

4. Killing Loneliness
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 With the warmth of your arms you saved me 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 We disappear in the lie, forever And denounce the power of death over our souls as secret words are said to start a war With the venomous kiss you gave me I'm killing loneliness With the warmth of your arms you saved me I'm killing loneliness with you The killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb I'm killing loneliness

5. Dark Light
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 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

6. Behind The Crimson Door

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 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"

7. The Face Of God

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 on 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 the shadow on our wall With the face of God" Nothing will be enough For the ones who keep on stumbling In the garden of withering trust Without the courage to leave I'd take my life for your kiss (grant me this) And lose it all to take you across the abyss

I dream what you're dreaming And feel what you're feeling Love's the shadow on our 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 the shape of a heart Loves' secret architecture I find myself to be lost in the Arms of your fate I'd kill to share your pain (please let me stay) And sell my soul for you just to say Loves 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

8. 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 Killing Devils Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie ourselves, a kiss at a time dance while angels smile 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 Killing Devils Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie ourselves, a kiss at a time dance while angels smile 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 Killing Devils Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie ourselves, a kiss at a time dance while angels smile on shadows and lost in a lie

9. 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

10. In The Nightside 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 will be crucified to a dream" 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 will be crucified to a dream"

11. 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 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

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

13. Poison Heart

'cause everybody has a poison heart I just want to walk right out of this world 'cause everybody has a poison heart A poison heart A poison heart A poison heart Yeah You know that life really takes its toll And a poet's gut reaction is to search his very soul So much damn confusion before my eyes But nothing seems to phase me and this one still survives I just want to walk right out of this world 'cause everybody has a poison heart I just want to walk right out of this world 'cause everybody has a poison heart Well, i just want to walk right out of this world 'cause everybody has a poison heart A poison heart A poison heart A poison heart A poison heart A poison heart A poison heart A poison heart

2. 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. Love's feline eyes in darkness shine on her web Demonised 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 [solo] 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

3. Passion's Killing Floor

Its 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 [Chorus:] 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 fates fail The light inside of our tomb [Chorus] (Oh 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

4. 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 good bye [Chorus:]

I'm reaching for your shadow drowning in The kiss of dawn Touching the pain that you left me with At the kiss 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 [Repeat chorus 2x]

5. 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 kiss

6. Dead Lover's Lane

Despair has a face and all these wounds remain unhealed Bless to kill and enslave 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 sucks the blood right out of my heart Scream out love's name in vain Erase the pain again And lose yourself alone in the dark On dead lover's lane 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 sucks the blood right out of my heart Scream out love's name in vain Erase the pain again And lose yourself alone in the dark On dead lover's lane Crawl down dead lover's lane, The maze of memories stained And sucks the blood right out of my heart Scream out love's name in vain Erase the pain again And lose yourself alone in the dark On dead lover's lane And suck the blood right of my heart Right out of my heart

7. Song 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

8. 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

9. Cyanide Sun
1.
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

1. 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 morn, for eve to mourn [Chorus:] 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 is a method to our sadness As we drag the mirror ball and chain Through the twilight again dressed up in shame [Chorus] We are begging for a reflection From an unshuttered heart To blind and chase us over the edge [Chorus] These are the wounds that are not meant to heal at all Let's fall apart together now Let's fall apart together now

2. Scared To Death
In the biblical sense and sensibility Let me know you I'll kiss that smile off your face just say when 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 To fall in love (with you) 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.

[x3] And you're sweet like poison.

3. Heartkiller
Farewell heartless world, I'll send you a postcard burnt in flames You've tried so hard to extinguish with the fear of failing, I'll write down everything I have learned, And edit it down to a single word "Love" For you I'm waiting, anticipating [Chorus:] 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 Heartkiller Top hats off to the return, Of the beat to lick a wound Too 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 [Chorus] Paint all your sorrows for me to sing hearkiller Draw your pain and hear me hum it out [Chorus] Heartkiller Heartkiller Babe I'll be a flatliner for a heartkiller Babe I'll be a flatliner for a heartkiller

4. 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 ice 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 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 (dying song)

Life and love (a dying song) With you (a dying song) With you (dying song) With you (dying song) With you (a dying song)

5. Disarm Me (With Your Loneliness)

The promise of heaven pushed us right back to hell Turned 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 and 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 emptiness telling me how you love me with all your heart no more

6. Love, The Hardest Way

Love is the devil counting teardrops in the rain To the sound of a chalkboard symphony played with nails For what it's worth I don't wanna see you hurt anymore Than you have to [Chorus:] Dine on glass, wine on blood Baby, love the hard way Baudelaire in Braille Baby, love the harder way Once you lose yourself entomb I promise you love the hardest way

Pretty like a flower on a tomb you are kissed blue by the last arrows of your sun Olly olly oxen free Hide and go weep Oh, no more Unless you want [Chorus] Love the hardest way [x3]

7. Katherine Wheel
Come on and break me a limb at a time Wrap me around your spokes so tight There is 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 god 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 in your arms swirl The dizzier I get the clearer I see with you I'm at peace with the world within [x2] 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

8. 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 [Chorus:] Lift the lid of your heart's casket in the arms of rain We'll drift along this river of sadness 'til we feel no pain Baby it's the hail Marys for the secrets you've kept from me Hail Marys for 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 [Chorus] Ave Maria we've tried Ave Maria we've cried Ave Maria we've died [Chorus x2] It's the end of a road, hold me It's the end of a road and we're free

9. Ode To Solitude
Easy on the eyes, uneasy on the heart Sew my wrists shut, sew my wrists shut with hope Straight into the light shining bright I dare you to dream this And I dare you to dream this gone What I want to know is which makes you smile less [Chorus:]

Here's to the pain the light of the oncoming train Come on ode to solitude in chains Here's to the pain as always heaven in flames now bleeding Ode to solitude in chains Map the scars of a heart bruised and torn Loosen the noose love loosen the noose with love What I want to know is why you keep me hanging [Chorus] If I should fail to stay Remember not to forget this feeling you have I've failed please pretend it never happened baby [Chorus x2] Ode to solitude [x4]

10. Shatter Me With Hope

The girl who cried "Love, won't you come and play with me?" You can be Cassandra, underneath the sword of Damocles We'll tear this baby apart wise like Salomon [Chorus:] Run, come shatter me now, shatter me with hope Crawl, come breathe me in, bleed out all sorrows Scream me a dream, untouched by shadows Baby, shatter me now, shatter me now Shatter me with hope She'll be the witness to the repose of evelyn Push the needles into the of canticles of ecstasy Turn to page 43 And you'll know how I feel [Chorus] Swear on your heart's grave I'm wrong And run like your life's depending on it 'cause it is! We'll tear this baby apart, wise like Solomon Turn to page forty three, and you'll know how I feel

[Chorus] Shatter me now, shatter me now, shatter me now Oh, u oh Shatter me now shatter me now shatter me now Oh, u oh Scream me a dream Shatter me now shatter me now shatter me now Scream me a dream (Shatter me now, shatter me now, shatter me now)

11. Acoustic Funeral (For Love In Limbo)

You missed the winter and it followed you back home Where sun kissed the crimson footsteps in the melting snow We are doing our best to disown the golden mean By these acts of cruelty in the name of beauty to be free [Chorus:] The acoustic funeral for love in limbo We're dancing with tags on our toes I save my last breath for your window To write you this song For the acoustic funeral On the verge of a vow to kill all reason locking that door To a nightmare within a nightmare we are bound to adore Let the planchette in the shape of heart glide to you And finally confirm all fears to be so real It's so real. [Chorus] It's unreal underneath the ice so thin I am turning blue The one last thing I know to be real is the shadow of you Killing love with a kiss [Chorus x2] Let's re-enact the fall for the acoustic funeral

12. Like St. Valentine

In the name of love lost I'm frozen to her and I want you To come build me a bridge soaked In gasoline and pass the torch Hey baby let me be your Valentine Saint Valentine Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep a lie alive Like Saint Valentine Like the couple from Pompeii Our drama is put on display Along with a dove stuffed in a coffin of glass Entitled "Love lust and the holy ghost" Those were the days Hey, baby, let me be your valentine St. Valentine Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep the lie alive Hey, baby, let me be your valentine St. Valentine Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep the lie alive Like St. Valentine Love is the only war worth dying for Lift me up to knock me down I'm all yours for now Hey, baby, let me be your valentine St. Valentine Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep the lie alive Hey, baby, let me be your valentine St. Valentine Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep the lie alive Like St. Valentine Hey, baby, let me be your valentine, St. Valentine.

13. The Foreboding Sense Of Impending Happiness

By your heart strings I'm hanging from a dream,

Gently swinging in the warm autumn breeze. Come look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up. Look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up, no more. Tip toeing along a strand of your hair suspended between, These thoughts and actions miles above reality. Come look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up. Look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up. Come look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up. Look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up. Look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up. Look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up. [Background:] Look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up. Look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up. Opening up, opening up, opening up, opening up. Look at the scars, You open me up, open me up. Smother a heart, Opening up, opening up. Look at the Scars, You open me up, opening up, open me up
