VAMPIRE HEART
You can’t escape the wrath of my heart beating to your funeral song (you’re so alone),All faith is lust for hell regained and love dust in the hands of shame (just be brave).
Let me bleed you this song of my heart deformed, lead you along this path in the dark, where I belong til I feel your warmth.
Hold me like you held onto life when all fears came alive and entombed me,
Love me like you love the sun, scorching the blood in my vampire heart.
I’ll be the thorns on every rose, you’ve been sent by hope (you’ll grow cold),
I am the nightmare waking you up from the dream of a dream of love (just like before).
Let me weep you this poem as Heaven’s gates close, paint you my soul, scarred and alone, waiting for your kiss to take me back home.
Hold me like you held onto life when all fears came alive and entombed me,
Love me like you love the sun, scorching the blood in my vampire heart.
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.
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.
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.
KILLING LONELINESS
Memories sharp as daggers pierce into the flesh of today.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.
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.
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.
BEHIND THE CRIMSON DOOR
Covered the carcase 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.’
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.
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.
Labyrinth in a shape of a heart, love’s secret architecture, I find myself to be lost in the arms of your fate.
I’d kill to share your pain (and carry the shame) and sell my soul for you just to say love’s 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.
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 on shadows and lost in a lie, killing ourselves a kiss at a time.
Devils dance while angels smile, drunk 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 on shadows and lost in a lie, killing ourselves a kiss at a time.
Devils dance while angels smile, drunk 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 on shadows and lost in a lie, killing ourselves a kiss at a time.
Devils dance while angels smile, drunk on shadows and lost in a lie, 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 til 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 til the world gone dark fades away.
I stay dead til you veil my scars and say goodbye to fate before it’s too late.
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 we’ll be crucified to a dream in the nightside of Eden.
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 we’ll be crucified to a dream in the nightside of Eden.
From the album “Venus Doom”
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.
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 her life worth living for and light up the dark.
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.
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 toLove in cold blood, breathe me in sweet suffering.
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.
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, tears of joy fill our eyes.
We are saved with its bigotries, my out-there 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 sewn.
Back into darkness we flee to tear our hearts out.
We are saved where all fates fail, the light inside of our tomb.
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.
My heart's a graveyard, baby, and to evil we make love on our passion's killing floor, forevermore.
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.
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, 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.
In our hearts love keeps sweet-talking to despair and goes on sleepwalking past hope.
All is lost in this war, all we can do is to wail and weep to the saddest song, sleepwalking past hope.
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 tenth 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 LOVERS’ LANE
Despair has a face and all these wounds remain unhealed.Blessed to kill and enslaved are all hearts around love’s will, thrilled to start all over again.
Crawl down dead lovers’ lane, the maze of memories stained, and suck the blood right out of my heart.
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 lovers’ lane, the maze of memories stained, and suck the blood right out of my heart.
Scream out love's name in vain, embrace the pain again and lose yourself alone in the dark on dead lovers’ lane.
SONGS 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 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.
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.
CYANIDE SUN
Should have known how hard it is to stop tearing each other apart, separating souls entwined in 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 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.
This emptiness I 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.
from the album “Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice, Chapters 1-13”
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.
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's a method to our sadness as we drag the mirror ball and chain through the twilight again, dressed up in shame.
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.
We are begging for a reflection from an unshuttered heart to blind and chase us over the edge.
SCARED TO DEATH
In the biblical sense and sensibility, let me know you; I'll kiss that smile off your face, 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.
All these pickup 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, I am scared to death to fall in love with you.
I'm not afraid to admit I adore you any more than I was before, babe, and I am scared to death to fall in love with you.
I'm scared to death, and you're sweet like poison.
HEARTKILLER
Farewell, heartless world, I'll send you a postcard burnt in the flames you’ve tried so hard to extinguish with 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.
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.
Top hats off to the return of the beat to lick a wound to, 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.
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.
Paint all your sorrow for me to sing, heartkiller, draw your pain and hear me hum it out.
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 with you.
Crawl back into bed, tomorrow is trembling at the sight of you and I.
DISARM ME (WITH YOUR LONELINESS)
A 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; deceive me out of my emptiness, telling me how you love me with all your heart no more.
Tell me how much it you miss my warmth, tell me how my kiss can change your world,
Tell me how much it hurts to be alone, lie to me that you love me with all your heart.
LOVE, THE HARDEST WAY
Love is like the devil counting teardrops in the rain to the sound of chalkboard symphony played with nails.For what it's worth, I don't want to see you hurt any more than you have to.
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 the sun.
Olly olly oxen free, hide and go weep no more, unless you want to.
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.
KATHERINE WHEEL
Lo and behold, baby, these are the things you make me do, Katherine Wheel, I'm burning for you.Come on and break me a limb at a time, wrap me around your spokes so tight, there's 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.
Holding hands won't be enough in a world giving head to a gun, 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.
I twist and turn in your arms' swirl, the dizzier I get the clearer I see, with you I'm at peace with the war within.
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?
Lift the lid off 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 secret you 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.
Lift the lid off 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 secret you kept from me, Hail Marys for tomorrow's dream, in the arms of rain we are free.
Ave Maria, we've tried; Ave Maria, we've cried; Ave Maria, we've died.
It's the end of the road, hold me, it's the end of the road and we're free.
ODE TO SOLITUDE
Easy on the eyes, uneasy on the heart, sew my wrists shut with hope, straight into the light, shining bright,And I dare you to dream this gone, what I want to know which makes you smile less.
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.
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.
If I should fail to stay remember not to forget this feeling you have; I've failed, please pretend it never happened, baby.
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 Solomon.
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 with hope.
She'll be the witness to the repose of Evelyn, push the needle into the of canticles of ecstasy, turn to page forty-three and you'll know how I feel.
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 with hope.
Swear on your heart's grave I'm wrong, and love like your life's depending on it, because it is.
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.
The acoustic funeral for love in limbo, we're dancing with tags on our toes,
I saved 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 a heart glide to 'oui' and finally confirm all fears to be so real (it’s unreal).
The acoustic funeral for love in limbo, we're dancing with tags on our toes,
I saved my last breath for your window to write you this song for the acoustic funeral.
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.
Lets reenact the fall for the acoustic funeral.
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 the 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, Saint Valentine, suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep the lie alive, like Saint Valentine.
Love's the only war worth dying for, lift me up to knock me down, I'm all yours, for now.
THE FOREBODING SENSE OF IMPENDING HAPPINESS
By your heartstrings I am hanging from a dream, gently swinging in the warm autumn breeze.Come look at the scars, smother a heart, opening up no more.
Tiptoeing 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, you open me up.
