LOVE METAL BURIED ALIVE BY LOVE Again the burden of losing rests upon my shoulders And its weight seems unbearablev 'Your tomb is where your heart is', I should've told herv But within me hid a secret so terrible 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 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 home 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 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 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 youv 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 Believe me This fortress won't fall I've built it strong - for you BEYOND REDEMPTION 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 Feel it turning your heart into stone Feel it piercing your courageous soul You're beyond now- redemption And no one's going to catch you when you fall 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 doorv It's when hate turns to love And love to hate Faith to doubt and doubt to faith CIRCLE OF FEAR 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 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 It's the circle of regret The circle of hate The circle of death Your circle of fear is the same 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 all 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 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 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 it's 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 soul's 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 LOVE'S REQUIEM Confusion writhes around our hearts impatientlyv 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 your beautiful song SWEET PANDEMONIUM 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 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 SOUL ON FIRE There's a flame that leads all souls astray No one's safe from its tender touch of pain 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 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 Addicted to our divine despair The venom of the cross we bear The guilt will follow us to death 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 prayedv For forgiveness But God's 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 That all angels greet with an envious song One look into strangers 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 Yeah And our night drowns in dawn THE SACRAMENT I hear you breathe so far from here I feel your touch so close and real And I know my church is not of silver and gold Its glory lies beyond judgment 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 of hatred and fear
