Dead Lovers' Lane
H.I.M. · Venus Doom [2007]
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 loves' name in vain
Embrace the pain again
And lose yourself alone in the dark
On dead lovers' lane
Crawl down dead lovers' lane
The maze of memories stained
And suck the blood right out of my heart
Scream out loves' name in vain
Embrace the pain again
And lose yourself alone in the dark
And suck the blood right out of my heart (dead lovers' lane)
Right out of my heart (dead lovers' lane)
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 loves' name in vain
Embrace the pain again
And lose yourself alone in the dark
On dead lovers' lane
Crawl down dead lovers' lane
The maze of memories stained
And suck the blood right out of my heart
Scream out loves' name in vain
Embrace the pain again
And lose yourself alone in the dark
And suck the blood right out of my heart (dead lovers' lane)
Right out of my heart (dead lovers' lane)
