Buried Alive By Love
(Valo)
Again the burden of losing rests upon my
shoulder
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
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 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
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And a deserted 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
And if I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile
The Funeral Of Hearts
(Valo)
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 here 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
Pray to god who's deaf and blind
The last night's the 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
(Valo)
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 redemption
And no one's gonna 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 door
It's when hate turns to love and love to hate
Faith to doubt and doubt to faith
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
Sweet Pandemonium
(Valo)
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
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
(Valo)
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
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 diving 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
The Sacrament
(Valo)
I hear your 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 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 your 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
All 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
This Fortress Of Tears
(Valo)
No one can hurt you now
In this heaven 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 heaven 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
Circle Of Fear
(Valo)
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 as 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
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
Endless Dark
(Valo)
Softly the light shines in trough
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
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
The Path
(Valo)
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 reason
Why time would've passed us by
With every step I take the less I know myself
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 risen 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 the gardens of dying light
And cross all the rivers deep and dark as the night
Searching for 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 risen and they will fall
And our night drowns in dawn
