HIM - Tears On Tape lyrics



Tracks



01. Unleash The Red

[Instrumental]

02. All Lips Go Blue

Hear the silent song
A moment have come before this.
My heart, so violently beats along.
Bleeding me to want to end it all.

I weep for the dream in a dream.
The one that made all lips go blue.

I read the words on torn down walls
Reminding me how much I love you.

I weep for the dream in a dream.
The one that made all lips go blue.
I leave bleeding yet another day.
The one that made all lips go blue.
It's all for you.
It's all for you.

Weep for the dream in a dream.
The one that made all lips go blue.
I leave bleeding yet another day.
The one that made all lips go blue.
It's all for you.
It's all for you.
It's all for you.

03. Love Without Tears

As the light across the room flickers
It's dying song
Waiting for a reason to keep going on
The sweetest pride is now turned bitter
By these thoughts, so I wander
To the dark of my home

I should've known all along
That love without tears
Is just a story told to keep us hanging on
In the cold all alone, baby don't fear
I sing
Love without tears, love without tears

There's a ghost residing here, a boy who
Cant let go, won't take no for an answer
Crying his song

I should've known all along
That love without tears
Is just a story told to keep us hanging on
In the cold all alone, baby don't fear
I sing
Love without tears, love without tears
Go on and prove me wrong
Love without tears, please let me
Be so wrong

04. I Will Be The End Of You

Cold underneath the starry night
Breathing in everything but air
See as the fire an light died in your eyes
Oh, you're leaving

Love's screaming
"I will be the end of you"
And I'm bleeding
For this star now
Go on and tear me apart
Show me all you have got
I will be so free

Hear the cries of the stormy skies
Letting go of all the tears held in
Waiting for that shadow to smile
And realize
You're nowhere near me

Love's screaming
"I will be the end of you"
And I'm bleeding for this star now
Go on and tear me apartS
how me all you have got
I will be so free

Love's screaming
"I will be the end of you"
And I'm bleeding to your star now
Go on and tear me apart
Show me all you have got
And we'll be so free
From all that has been
So free from all that we've seen
So free

05. Tears On Tape

Lyrics by Ville Valo
Church bells toll
Thunder roars around me
I've been warned to prepare myself
For the fall

I'm armed to the teeth with tender pain
Of all yesterdays

Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart
Sketching rain from afar

Tears on tape
She surrenders needle in arm
While we dance into the storm

Darkness falls
Settling the score with love for once and for all
Soaked in blood I cry

I fear we're lost to the summer rain
Lonely and afraid

Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart
Sketching rain from afar

Tears on tape
She surrenders needle in arm
While we dance into the storm

And for a moment there's no pain
For once there's no more pain in your eyes
And maybe we'll love, just enough
To convince us to keep breathing on

Tears on tape
Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart

Tears on tape
Tears on tape
I will follow you, to your arms

06. Into The Night

Lyrics by Ville Valo
Trapped in autumn, buried beneath the leaves
To the echo of the summer softly weeping
Sinking further in this seminary sea
Painting pain with pastels through her cemetery eyes

Into the night we ride, scars wide open
Into the night, you and I torn and broken
Bleed into the night

Blinded by the sun's brightest rays
Lading you two from the sharpened razor blades
Side by side; darkness and light
Play their game so unafraid, their hearts in synchronized

Into the night we ride, scars wide open
Into the night, you and I torn and broken
Bleed into the night and I'll meet you there

Waiting for the world to end
Oh let it end again

Into the night we ride, scars wide open
Into the night, you and I torn and broken
Bleed into the night, arms wide open

07. Hearts At War

So, after all that we have done
Are you feeling cold like the winter sun
And have you thought about all the words that
We left unsaid, don't be scared
(You shouldn't be)

Hearts at war drunk on dreams
Of all thats been lost, now
Let them bleed
Just let them...

Run away as far as you can
And hide behind alll the promises
But I'll find you, 'cause you are a fire
And I'm the rain, don't be afraid
(Maybe you should be)

Hearts at war drunk on dreams
Of all thats been lost, now
Let them bleed
Hearts at war, for think of love and
There's no escaping
What we have brought upon ourselves again
There's no way out, baby
We brought this upon ourselves again

08. Trapped In Autumn

[Instrumental]

09. No Love

Forever and ever!

Shadows grow taller
And I'm sleeping on my scars
Lonely, I hold her
And crave for your warmth
(And her touch)

There's no love
No love will be enough for what I'm feeling
No love
No love will be the end of this dreaming of you

Hell is freezing over
And the light is long gone
And I wonder where you are

We're the stars in the drawing of the flame
Making love to the rain

10. Drawn & Quartered

We can be like all the others with no way to go
Paint ourselves into a corner with hope
This could be the end of everything
Afraid of a dream of one

Let's hope these heart's for one another
It's worth all wounds, it must be
If I'm drawn and quartered
It's only for you
Hold that thought down forever
In all shades of blue

So why won't you (why won't you)?
Been waiting to
Why won't you go on and run?

Every part of me wants to believe
There's a darkness we need to feel
For the brightest light to be seen and felt inside
Only because of you

Let's hope these heart's for one another
It's worth all wounds, it must be
If I'm drawn and quartered
It's only for you
Hold that thought down forever
In all shades of blue

Why won't you go on and run with them?
Run away, go on and run away
And I'll stay
Drawn & quartered
For you

It's all I can do, my baby

Hold that thought down forever
In all shades of blue
Why won't you?
I'll wait for you
Why won't you?
Go on and run
Why won't you
Go on and run
Run away

Let's hope these heart's for one another
It's worth all wounds, it must be

Hold that thought down forever
In all shades of blue

Always

11. Lucifers Chorale

[Instrumental]

12. When Love Starts To Die

I kissed the void
and crawled straight into its heart
This golden/only .. I go?
I prayed to hear again
that serpent song
Wishing it be over

When love starts to die
It begins with a kiss
Violently soothing and warm
When love starts to die
When love starts to die
So do I (So do I)
So do I
That's right

My foot fail me?
In heart and stone
Still waiting for your cold

When love starts to die
It begins with a kiss
Violently soothing and warm
When love starts to die
When love starts to die
So do I (So do I)

Ooh
Love is a circle?
like angel wings spread

When love starts to die
It begins with a kiss
Violently soothing and warm
When love starts to die
When love starts to die
So do I
So I die

When love starts to die
When love starts to die
So do I

13. Kiss The Void

I'm losin' power and I don't know why?
Not really sure if I'll live or die
I wanna leave but I can't get away
It's a strange sensation
Out of control bein' by myself
I feel this gravitation
Caught like a magnet and I'm bein' pulled
(Into the void)
I wanna get away, get away
(Into the void)
I'm bein' pulled, I'm bein' pulled down
(Into the void)
This place is spinnin', spinnin' around
(Into the void)
Fell like I'm bein' pulled into a black hole
This crazy feelin's screwin' with my head
I'm overloadin' and my gauges are red
State of confusion's got a hold on me
I feel a hesitation
I'm bein' drugged, fallen out of the track
Don't like the situation
Caught like a magnet and I'm bein' pulled
(Into the void)
I wanna get away, get away
(Into the void)
My head is spinnin', spinnin' around 'round
(Into the void)
This force is gettin', gettin' stronger
(Into the void)
Fell like I'm bein' pulled into a black hole
(Into the void)
I'm bein' pulled, bein' pulled down down
Down down
I wanna really get away
(Into the void)
Don't like this feelin', I'm bein' pulled down
(Into the void)
I wanna get away, get away
(Into the void)
Feel like it's spinnin', spinnin' around
(Into the void)
I'm being pulled, bein' pulled down down
Down down
(Into the void)
Get away, get away
(Into the void)
Fell like I'm bein' pulled into a black hole
(Into the void)
