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 have 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
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile

If I should die before I wake
There ain't no one my soul to take
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 have 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 a desert soul is gone
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
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile

Oh, it seems to cry is to know that you're alive
And my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And a desert since all has 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
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile

I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
Buried alive by love

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 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

Beyond redemption

Oh, I see your scars
I know where they 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's so wrong and wrong's so right

Now

Feel it turning your heart into stone
Feel it piercing your courageous soul
Beyond now redemption
And no one's going to 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
Beyond now redemption
And no one's going to catch you when you fall

Sweet pandemonium

Today tomorrow seems so far away
And 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
Fazed 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

Soul on fire

There's a flame that leads all souls astray
No one's safe from its tender touch of pain
And every day it's looking for new slaves
To celebrate the beauty of the greave

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

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 fire

The Sacrament

I hear you breathe so far from me
I feel your touch so close and real
And I know
My church is not of silver and gold
It's glory lies beyond judgement 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 dear
The revelation is of hatred and fear

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

The sacrament is you
The sacrament is you
The sacrament is you
The sacrament is you

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

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
Believe me
This fortress won't fall
I've built it strong for you

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 crumbles

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

Endless dark

Softly the light shines in through
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
Endless dark
This endless dark

Lonely the light shines on you
Through the gates of 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
Endless dark
This endless dark

And I know where I belong
Away from your gods
That heal all wounds and light
This endless dark

That heal all wounds
Heal all wounds
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 workship the tomb of our forlorn love
That heal all wounds and light
This endless dark

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 to the gardens of dying light
and cross all the rivers deep and dark as the night
Searching for a reason why time wouldnt'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 to 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 stranger's eyes
And I know where I belong

I walk through to the gardens of dying light
and cross all the rivers deep and dark as the night
Searching for a reason why time wouldnt've passed us by

Oh, I see to 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, yeah

And the path goes on
