Revista Kerang de Abril: Entrevista com Ville

No mês de abril nosso (quanta intimidade! ¬¬") Ville saiu na revista dos sonhos: a Kerang. Fez uma interessante entrevista que tem como título mais ou menos o seguinte: "Ville Valo na infernal jornada pelo amor"
Pra falar a verdade, o tema da entrevista não devia ser esse, porque ele nem fala muito sobre o assunto... não dá nem pra imaginar ele admitindo pra uma revista "Oh! que vida cruel... Ah!alguém aí pode, por gentileza, me dar amor???" Pois sabemos muito bem que ele não se expõe ao ridículo porque é muito reservado.
O tema de maior discursão é sobre a questão de sua reabilitação com relação ao álcool.
Ele ,no ano passado, terminou um noivado antigo, mas não se deixou levar pela tristeza, e vendo que valeria a pena parar com a bebida (pois viu que precisaria ficar sóbrio pro trabalho pesado da turnê do Venus Doom), entrou na reabilitação.
Ele conta que o tempo que passou bebendo no ano passado, em festas, se divertindo adoidado, já passou... fala até que ele talvez tenha se divertido em um ano quase o que uma pessoa pode se divertir em uma vida toda! Observou que deveria começar um tempo pra pensar, ler, desenhar, escrever e até fazer uma reforma na sua casa, o que ele conta poder até se aproximar de uma vida normal!
Fala também que não teve vontade de beber junto dos colegas da banda (pois eles continuam bebendo muito!), porque estava realmente orgulhoso de poder passar o aniversário de seu pai, de sua mãe, do irmão, até seu próprio aniversário, Natal, Ano Novo, sem estar bêbado ou passar vexame, que, aliás, era algo que ele não conseguia a 15 anos. Diz que isso também é intoxicante! Claro que do lado positivo da coisa, que leva-o a ser alguém melhor, traz bom fluidos pra banda e talz. Diz que quer ver seu desempenho na turnê completamente sóbrio e depois ver no que dá (ele, pra falar a verdade, disse que quando os shows terminarem pode provavelmente estar em um bar bebendo vodka! uahuauha^^).
Ele fala claramente que apesar de no passado ter bebido muito, não era alcoolatra e que não se orgulha pelo fato de ter passado o ano sem beber (porque um ano não é lá um graaaande marco), e sim por ter feito coisas boas nesse período, claro que com a ajuda da falta do álcool.

Apesar de ele ter dito que não costuma olhar no google pra ver o que os fãs pensam dele quando está bebendo ou não, porque é muito estranho ver comentários sobre sua vida vindos do outro lado do mundo (concerteza ele pensou nos fãs brasileiros...), nessa luta contra a bebida ele sempre terá o nosso apoio!

!!! BELO EXEMPLO, VILLE VALO !!!

DVD - Digital Versatile Doom (de 2008)

Pois é pessoal, saiu o tão esperado DvD da nossa banda favorita. O Versatile Doom tem uma porrada de coisas: vídeos do show no Orpheum Teathre da turnê do Venus Doom, videoclipes, making of, entrevistas e mais. É nessas horas que o orgulho de ser brasileiro (e mais, de ser nordestino) se esvai... Você, nordestino, espera mesmo encontrar esse bendito DvD à venda em qualquer loja por aqui??? DooooooCE ILUSÃO!
Maaaaas podemos, é claro, recorrer á nossa tão amada internet: por uma quantia "singela", em vários sites de venda você poderá sim adquirí-lo! (o original, obviamente... ¬¬")

"Bittersweet" de H.I.M., The Rasmus e Apocalyptica

Parece sonho... Parece mentira... mas, não é! H.I.M., The Rasmus e Apocalyptica fizeram sim um trabalho juntos (pra falar a verdade o trabalho em si é do Ville, do Lauri e dos caras do Apocalyptica...). A música que surgiu dessa mixagem mais que ideal foi "Bittersweet" com direito a videoclipe e tudo mais!
O doce som do cello "Apocalyptico", com a voz profunda de Ville e os marcantes agudos de Lauri tornam a música muuuuito linda. Vale a pena conferir!

Letra e tradução de "Bittersweet"

I'm giving up the ghost of love
And a shadow is cast on devotion
She is the one that I adore
Queen of my silent suffocation

Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny
Bittersweet...

I won´t give up
I’m Possessed By Her
I’m bearing a cross
She's turned into my curse

Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny

Bittersweet I want you
(Oh how I wanted you)

And I need you
(how I'm needing you)

Ohhhhhhh

Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny (2x)

Bittersweet

(tradução)

Eu estou desistindo do fantasma do amor
E uma sombra é moldada em devoção
Ela é a única que eu adoro
Rainha da minha sufocação silenciosa

Quebre este feitiço amargamente doce em mim
Perdido nos braços do destino

Doce Amargo

Eu não vou desistir
Estou possuído por ela
Estou carregando uma cruz
Ela está se tornando em minha maldição

Quebre este feitiço amargamente doce em mim
Perdido nos braços do destino

Doce amargo, eu quero você
(Oh como eu queria você)

E eu preciso de você
(como estou precisando de você)

Ohhhhhh

Quebre este feitiço amargamente doce em mim
Perdido nos braços do destino (2x)

Doce Amargo

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 kiss worth dying for
And open your arms

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 a life worth living for
And light up the dark

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


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
And 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 kiss the seeds of hatred are sown
And back into darkness we flee to tear our hearts out

We are safe where all faiths fail
Alive inside of our tomb


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 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

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

I'm reaching for your shadow
Drowning in the kiss 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 kiss


Dead Lover's Lane

Despair has a face
And all these wounds remain unhealed
Bless the killed and enslaved
Our own hearts are our loves will
Thrilled to start all over again

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

Fear has a name
Written on our hallowed ground
With their tears
Those words never saved
To fear your heart and our dreams
Are these beyond our grasp?

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

Scream out love's name in vain
Erase the pain again
And move yourself across the dark
Dead lover's lane

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

Scream out love's name in vain
Erase the pain again
And move yourself across the dark

And it sucks the blood right of my heart

Right out of my heart


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


Bleed Weel

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

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 onto life when all fears came alive and entombed me
And love me like you loved the sun, scorching the blood in my vampire heart

I'm 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 poeam as heaven's gates close
and paint you my soul, scarred and alone
waiting for your kisses to take me back home


Rip out the Wings of a Butterfly

Heaven ablaze in our 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 (Rip out the wings of a butterfly)
Don't let go (Rip out the wings of a butterfly)
For your Soul

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 (Rip out the wings of a butterfly)
Don't let go (Rip out the wings of a butterfly)
For your soul (Rip out the wings of a butterfly)
Don't let go
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul


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

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'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 
In your heart under the rose 
In your heart under the rose 
In your heart under the rose


Killing Loneliness

Memories, sharp as daggers
Pierce into the flesh of today
Suicide of love took away all the matters
And buried the remains in a unmarked grave
In your heart

With the venonous kiss you gave me I'm killing loneliness
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
I am killing loneliness with you
I am killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I am killing loneliness with you
With You

Nailed to the cross, together
As solitude begs us to stay
We disappear in the lie forever
And denounce the power of death over our souls and secrets words are set to start a war

With the venonous kiss you gave me I am killing loneliness
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
I am killing loneliness with you
I am killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I am killing loneliness with you
With You


Dark Light

Shivers run through the spine
Of hope as she cries
the poison tears of her life delight
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 over all stars tonight
And blind
All fears that haunted you
Your smile
Dark Light

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 Slave

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"

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"

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"

We Hide Behind The Crimson Door...


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 of 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 our shadow on the 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

Oh I'd take my life for your kiss
(Grant me my wish)
And lose it all to take you across the abyss

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

Labrynth in a shape of a heart
Love's secret architecture
I find myself to be lost in the
Arms of your feet

I'd kill to share you pain
(And carry the shame)
And sell my soul for you just to say
Love's name in vein
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
Love's our shadow on the wall
With the face of
(Face of)
The face of
(Face of)
God

(Face of)
God


Drunk on Shadows

Hiding underneath
Faint broken dreams
We find her weeping

On her ghost white wings
She will be carrying the weight of our deeds
And she bleeds for love
Forever gone

Drunk on shadows and lost in life
Killing ourselves a kiss at a time
Devils dance while angels smile
Drunk on shadows and lost in life

Finding souls to fear
The nightside of eden
You see the struggling
For her loss
Last breath and walk ons

Drunk on shadows and lost in life
Killing ourselves a kiss at a time
Devils dance while angels smile
Drunk on shadows and lost in life

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 we see nothing but a reflection of heaven so far away

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


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


In the Nightside of Eden

Tonight we're standing in light of a frozen sun
Cursing the gods we have at home
Will you steal the fire from the sacred heart
And bleed the blood of holy
We've fallen in love with the serpent's song
And feel nothing

In the nightside of eden
We're born again
Dead
Forever we are
Wherever we'll be
Forever we'll be crucified to a dream
The nightside of eden

Derranged, we're tearing away the pains of desire
Learning the mathematics of people die hard
We decieve ourselves to start a war
Within the realm of senses
And the centered circle number four
Where we got nothing

In the nightside of eden
We're born again
Dead
Forever we are
Wherever we'll be
Forever we'll be crucified to a dream
The nightside of eden

In the nightside of eden
We're born again
Dead
Forever we are
Wherever we'll be
Forever we'll be crucified to a dream
The nightside of eden
Forever we are
Wherever we'll be
Forever we'll be crucified to a dream
The nightside of eden

FOREVER WE ARE
WHEREVER WE'LL BE
FOREVER WE'LL BE CRUCIFIED TO A DREAM

And Love Said No

And love's light blue
Led me to you
Through all the emptiness that had become my home
Love's lies cruel
Introduced me to you
And at that moment I knew I was out of hope 

Kill me
I begged and love said no
Leave me
For dead and let me go
Kill me
I cried and love said no
Kill me
I cried and love said no

Love's ice tomb
Dug open for you
Lies in a cemetery that bears my name
Love's violent tune
From me to you
Rips your heart out
And leaves you Bleeding within
A smile on your face

Kill me
I begged and love said no
Leave me
for dead and let me go
Kill me
I cried and love said no
Kill me
I cried and love said no

Loves light blues
Took me from you
And at that moment
I knew
I was out of hope 
Again

Kill me
I begged and love said no
Leave me
for dead and let me go
Kill me
I cried and love said no
Kill me
I cried and love said no

And love said no
And love said no


Solitary man

Melinda was mine
'Til the time
That I found her
Holding Jim
Loving him

Then Sue came along
Loved me strong
That's what I thought
Me and Sue
But that died too

Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
A girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man

I've had it to here
Bein' where
Love's a small world
Part-time thing
Paper ring

I know it's been done
Having' one
Girl who'll love me
Right or wrong
Weak or strong

Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man

Buried Alive by Love

Again the burden of losing rests 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
And 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
And if I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile... yeah

The kiss of vanity blessed me with a spiritual murder
Fed the gods of war insatiable
Your home is where the dark is
I should have told her
Embrace 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

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

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

I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love... yeah
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love... yeah


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 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


Beyond Redemption

Oh, I see your scars
I know where they're from
Sensually carved and bleeding
Till you're dead and gone

I've seen it all before
Beauty, Splendour, Torn
It's when heaven turns to black
And hell to white
Rights so wrong and wrongs so right now

Feel it turning your heart into stone
Feel it piercing your courageous soul
Beyond our redemption
No one's gonna catch you when you fall

Oh, I see you crawl
You can barely walk with 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 our redemption
No one's gonna catch you when you fall

Feel it turning your heart into stone
Feel it piercing your courageous soul
Beyond our redemption
No one's gonna catch you when you fall

Feel it turning your heart into stone
Feel it piercing your courageous soul
Beyond our redemption
No one's gonna catch you when you fall

Feel it turning your heart into stone
Feel it piercing your courageous soul
Beyond our redemption
No one's gonna catch you when you fall

Feel it turning your heart into stone
Feel it piercing your courageous soul
Beyond our redemption
No one's gonna catch you when you fall

Beyond our redemption
Beyond our redemption
Beyond our redemption
Beyond our redemption


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 our 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 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 fire
Soul on
Soul on
Fire

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,
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

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


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


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 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
'Cause your circle of fear is the same

Love can be cold as grave
A one way ticket to endless sorrow
An empire of gentle hate
Today without tomorrow

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
'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


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
Endless dark
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
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 worship the tomb of our forlorn love
That heal all wounds and light
This endless dark

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 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
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

Salt in our wounds

Here we are
In the maelstrom of love
Waiting for the call
To sooth our hearts
Here we are
And don't know how to stop
Waiting for the war
To end it all

Love is insane and baby
We are too
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds
Love is insane and baby
So we too, yeah
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds

Here we are
Right back where we began
Waiting for sweet love
With open arms
Here we are
Just like before
Waiting for the warmth
Of that tender storm

Love is insane and baby
We are too
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds
Love is insane and baby
So we too, yeah
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds

Love is insane and baby
We are too
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds
Love is insane and baby
So we too, yeah
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds

Love is insane and baby
We are too
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds
Love is insane and baby
So we too, yeah
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds

The salt in our wounds
The salt in our wounds


Heartache every moment

in your sweetest tornment i'm lost
and no heaven can help us
ready, willing and able to lose it all
for a kiss so fatal and so warm

it's heartache every moment
with you
deeper into our heavenly suffering
our fragile souls are falling

but don't wanna give up
'cause there's no smile of an angel
without the wrath of god

our fragile souls are falling
it's heartache every moment

our fragile souls are falling

In Joy and Sorrow

Oh girl we are the same
We are young and lost and so afraid
There´s no cure for the pain
No shelter from the rain
All our prayers seem to fail

In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart

Oh girl we are the same
We are strong and blessed and so brave
With souls to be saved
And faith regained
All our tears wipe away

In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart

In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart
In joy and sorrow my home's in your arms
In a world so hollow
It is breaking my heart

And my home's in your arms
And it is breaking my heart
My home's in your arms


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 heart, my baby,
It always ends up in tears...

So keep on Pretending
our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on Pretending
it's all right
So keep on Pretending
it will be the end of our craving
Keep on Pretending
it's all right...

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's worth the waiting
Keep on Pretending
it's all right
So keep on Pretending
it will be the end of our craving
Keep on Pretending
it's all right... c'mon

[Guitar Solo]

So keep on Pretending
our heaven's worth the waiting
Keep on Pretending
it's all right
So keep on Pretending
it will be the end of our craving
Keep on Pretending
it's all right...

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
And it is breaking my heart


Close to the flame

The kiss sweetest
And touch so warm
The smile kindest
In this world so cold and strong

So close to the flame
Burning brightly
It won't fade away
And leave us lonely

The arms safest
And words all good
The faith deepest
In this world so cold and cruel

So close to the flame
Burning brightly
It won't fade away
And leave us lonely


Please dont let it go

We're drifting apart,
But I want you to know
Wherever you are I belong
Love's singing us a song
But we fail to sing along
Wherever you go I will follow

So please don't let it
Please don't let it go
Cause if you won't let it I won't let it go
So please don't let it
Please don't let it go
Cause if you won't let it I won't let it go

You try to be strong
But you're always so alone
Whatever I do I do it wrong
Death sings our song
And we eagarly sing along
Whatever you do I adore
So please don't let it
Please don't let it go
Cause if you won't let it I won't let it go
So please don't let it
Please don't let it go
Cause if you won't let it I won't let it go

Don't let go of life
Let go of love
Let go of all we have

Don't let go of trust
Let go of lust
Let go of all we share

So please don't let it
Please don't let it go
Cause if you won't let it I won't let it go
Please don't let it
Please don't let it go
And if you won't let it I won't let it go

So please don't let it
Please don't let it go
Cause if you won't let it I won't let it go
Please don't let it
Please don't let it go
Cause if you won't let it I won't let it go


Beautiful

Just one look into your eyes
One look and I'm crying
'Cause you're so beautiful

Just one kiss and I'm alive
One kiss and I'm ready to die
'Cause you're so beautiful

Just one touch and I'm on fire
One touch and I'm crying
'Cause you're so beautiful

Just one smile and I'm wild
One smile and I'm ready to die
'Cause you're so beautiful

Oh and you're so beautiful
My darling
Oh you're so beautiful
You're so beautiful
Oh my baby
You're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful
Oh my darling
Oh my baby
And you're so beautiful


Dont 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
Strenght all gone
And so many things left unsaid
And deeds undone
You've stopped caring
'Cause it's all in vain

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

You are so alone
And tired of breathing
It's all going wrong
And you just can't stand the pain

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
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Just don't let me down


Love you like I do

On my heart I'll bear the shame
No prayer can ease the pain

No one will love you
No one will love you the way i do
No one will love you, love you like I do

And there's no escape
Just countless mistakes

No one will love you
No one will love you the way I do
No one will ove you, love you like I do

It will never be the same
Witness trust fade away

No one will love you
No one will love you the way I do
No one will love you, love you like I do

No one will love you
No one will love the way i do
No one will love, love you like I do

Love you like I do
Love you like I do
Love you like I do
Love you like I do
